This Project Grant establishes a state block grant program through which WisDOT administers and distributes federal Airport Improvement Program funding to eligible non-primary airports throughout Wisconsin. The grant supports airport infrastructure development projects that enhance safety, operational efficiency, and long-term economic benefits across the state's airport system.

Under this award, WisDOT functions as the grant administrator responsible for overseeing sub-awards to Wisconsin's non-primary airports. A sub-award dated April 3, 2026, directed funding to the City of Boscobel for specific infrastructure improvements at Boscobel Airport, including construction of a hangar and taxilane A1. These types of projects are representative of the Airport Improvement Program's eligible activities and support the FAA's strategic objectives of maintaining a comprehensive nationwide system of public-use airports adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs.
