The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Wisconsin Department of Transportation $383,368.42 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 10, 2025, for a project period extending through September 9, 2029. This Project Grant enables WisDOT to serve as the state block grant administrator, distributing federal funding to eligible non-primary airports throughout Wisconsin for infrastructure improvement sub-awards. The grant supports airport development and modernization initiatives consistent with FAA strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while maintaining compliance oversight of sub-awarded projects.

Under this award, WisDOT is administering infrastructure improvements at non-primary airports, including a sub-award to County of Price dated March 18, 2026, for the construction of a six-unit T-hangar facility and associated northern hangar apron at a non-primary airport. The initial phase encompasses design and resident engineering activities for the hangar construction and apron development project. This sub-award structure reflects the program's typical approach of supporting runway reconstruction, taxiway improvements, apron pavement work, and specialized airport facility construction at eligible public-use airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems.
