Reconstruct taxilane

The City of Belle Fourche received a $180,000 project grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to reconstruct taxilane pavement at Belle Fourche Municipal Airport in South Dakota. This award, obligated on August 6, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 5, 2029, funds the final construction phase of a comprehensive taxilane reconstruction project totaling 1,336 feet of existing hangar taxilane pavement that has reached the end of its useful life. The grant-funded phase will construct 213 feet of the remaining taxilane pavement.

This project represents a strategic infrastructure investment supporting the FAA's objectives of safety and operational excellence within the nationwide system of public-use airports. The award complements the City of Belle Fourche's demonstrated commitment to airport modernization, as evidenced by prior federal grants totaling approximately $1.99 million directed toward comprehensive improvements at the municipal airport, including previous taxilane reconstruction phases, drainage and erosion control systems, access road construction, and perimeter fencing enhancements.
