This grant funds the update of the existing airport master plan for Panguitch Municipal Airport in Panguitch, Utah, along with development of an updated solid waste recycling plan. The master plan update will serve as a comprehensive planning document to guide airport infrastructure development and operations, while the solid waste recycling plan component addresses environmental sustainability initiatives at the airport facility.

This planning-phase project falls within the program's eligible activities and represents a typical master planning grant award, which generally ranges from $300,000 to several million dollars depending on project scope.
