This grant establishes a state block grant program enabling WisDOT to administer and distribute federal Airport Improvement Program funding to eligible nonprimary airports throughout Wisconsin. The primary products and services delivered include infrastructure improvements comprising taxiway construction, taxilane construction, and hangar construction or expansion at participating airports within the state.

WisDOT distributed grant funds to sub-awardees to execute specific airport improvement projects. The City of Crandon received a sub-award effective September 18, 2025, for airport infrastructure development including taxiway extension, taxilane extension, and Phase 1 project formulation activities for hangar construction. Through this block grant structure, WisDOT serves as the administrative intermediary, ensuring federal compliance and oversight while enabling nonprimary airports across the state to access federal infrastructure funding for critical airfield improvements that enhance operational capacity and safety.
