Designated for nonprimary airports in the state block grant program

This $3.5 million project grant from the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program, CFDA 20.106, provides funding to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to administer sub-awards for airport improvement projects at nonprimary airports across Wisconsin from September 2022 through September 2026. The state will use the funding to support several sub-grantees as they update airport master plans and layout plans, conduct airport planning studies, rehabilitate runways and taxiways, procure snow removal equipment, and conduct annual crack sealing programs. Specific sub-awards will provide $250,000 to the Village of East Troy to complete a master plan, $150,000 to the City of New Richmond for an airport layout update, and $100,000 to the City of Merrill to conduct master planning activities. Another $500,000 sub-award was made to the City of Menomonie for runway rehabilitation and other airport infrastructure upgrades. The County of Sheboygan will also receive $150,000 to procure snow removal attachments.
