Conduct/update miscellaneous study

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Northwest Mountain Region, awarded Jackson Hole Airport Board a $2.117 million project grant on August 27, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to conduct a site selection study for a combined aircraft rescue and firefighting, snow removal equipment, and maintenance facility. The study will evaluate potential locations for this integrated facility to support operational needs at Jackson Hole Airport in Jackson, Wyoming. The project is scheduled for completion by August 26, 2029, allowing adequate time for comprehensive site analysis and planning documentation necessary to inform subsequent facility development decisions.

This planning grant represents a critical infrastructure investment in airport safety and operational capabilities. The resulting site selection study will provide the technical foundation for future capital improvements that enhance emergency response capabilities, equipment storage efficiency, and maintenance operations at the regional airport. As a not-for-profit organization managing Jackson Hole Airport, the Airport Board will utilize these federal funds to advance the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while supporting the development of adequate airport infrastructure for civil aeronautics and regional transportation needs.
