Construct/expand snow removal equipment building

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Wisconsin Department of Transportation $467,368.42 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 9, 2025, to construct and expand a snow removal equipment (SRE) building. This project grant supports Wisconsin's state block grant program, which administers Airport Improvement Program sub-awards to nonprimary airports throughout the state. The grant period extends through September 8, 2029, allowing the state to oversee the planning, design, and construction of airport infrastructure improvements while maintaining federal compliance and oversight.

Under this award, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation distributed sub-grant funding to eligible airports within the state block grant program. The Town of Cable Town Hall, a subgrantee, received funding to construct an SRE building at its local airport facility (sub-award dated October 2, 2025). This infrastructure project aligns with the Airport Improvement Program's strategic objectives of maintaining safe, efficient airport systems and supporting long-term economic benefits through targeted investments in airport operational facilities.
