Install wind cone/segmented circle; reconstruct airport rotating beacon

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded County of Wayne $159,991.17 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on June 17, 2025, to support critical navigational and safety infrastructure improvements at Lyman Municipal Airport in Lyman, Utah. The project encompasses two primary deliverables: acquisition and installation of a new wind cone navigational aid to provide pilots with essential airfield information, and reconstruction of an existing airport rotating beacon that has reached the end of its operational life. These infrastructure investments enhance airport safety and operational efficiency for civil aviation users.

The project period extends through June 16, 2029, allowing approximately four years for completion of the wind cone installation and beacon reconstruction activities. As a local government entity, County of Wayne will execute these improvements as part of the FAA's broader nationwide commitment to maintaining and modernizing airport infrastructure systems. This award represents one component of County of Wayne's broader federal airport funding portfolio, which has secured over $769,000 in FAA Airport Improvement Program grants for various Lyman Municipal Airport infrastructure projects in recent years.
