Reconstruct snow removal equipment

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Wisconsin Department of Transportation a Project Grant of $425,200 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 11, 2025, with a completion date of September 10, 2029. This grant establishes a state block grant program enabling WisDOT to administer and distribute federal funding for airport infrastructure improvements at nonprimary airports throughout Wisconsin.

Under this award, WisDOT is reconstructing snow removal equipment at eligible Wisconsin airports. A sub-award was issued on December 8, 2025, to the Town of La Pointe to acquire snow removal equipment consisting of a tractor, snow plow, snow blower, and power broom. These equipment acquisitions support operational efficiency and safety at nonprimary airports across the state, consistent with the FAA's strategic objectives of operational excellence and long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment.
