Construct/expand fuel farm

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Northwest Mountain Region awarded $750,615.79 to Grant County Port District on August 21, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to construct and expand fuel infrastructure at a non-primary airport in Electric City, Washington. This Phase 2 construction grant funds the installation of a new pump fuel facility consisting of one 12,000-gallon fuel tank, a self-service pump station, and associated apron pavement to accommodate a new fuel type. The project is authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act's expanded eligibility provisions and is designed to enhance the airport's financial sustainability through revenue generation while meeting civil aviation infrastructure needs.

The Grant County Port District, a local government port and airport authority, will deliver these airport infrastructure improvements with an anticipated project completion date of August 20, 2029. This grant represents the FAA's continued investment in regional airport modernization and represents one component of the Port District's broader federal funding portfolio for airport capital improvements, which has included recent investments in weather observation systems, runway guidance systems, and runway accessibility enhancements.
