Extend/expand taxiway

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Northwest Mountain Region awarded $229,494.74 to Yellowstone Regional Airport on June 10, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) to design Phase 1 of a 1,300-foot extension to Taxiway B at the airport in Cody, Wyoming. The extension will bring the airport into conformity with current standards. The period of performance runs through June 9, 2030. Yellowstone Regional Airport, a local government airport authority, is the recipient. The Airport Infrastructure Grants program provides funding for runway, taxiway, safety, sustainability, terminal, and related airport infrastructure projects at eligible airports listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. Projects are expected to be completed within a maximum four-year period of performance; most airports complete projects within two to three years of award. Grant recipients must maintain current airport layout plans throughout the grant agreement term (ordinarily 20 years) and retain accounting records for three years after submission of the final expenditure report.
