Develop new airport master plan

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) a Project Grant totaling $117,056.84 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 9, 2025. This grant enables WisDOT to administer a state block grant program that distributes federal funding to eligible non-primary airports throughout Wisconsin. The project period extends through September 8, 2029, and focuses on developing new airport master plans as part of the broader state effort to improve airport infrastructure and operations across the state's aviation system.

WisDOT serves as the designated administrator responsible for oversight and compliance management of airport improvement sub-awards distributed to qualifying non-primary airports. As documented in the award records, WisDOT has already issued a sub-award to the Village of Boyceville effective February 12, 2026, for Phase 1 of an Airport Master Plan. This sub-award structure allows the state agency to efficiently allocate federal resources while ensuring that airport infrastructure development projects across Wisconsin meet federal standards and program requirements.
