The grant funds Phase 2 construction activities to rehabilitate 900 feet of existing paved general aviation taxiway and shift two taxiways to bring the airport into conformity with current FAA standards. Specifically, the project shifts Taxiway A by 90 feet and Taxiway A3 by 285 feet while rehabilitating existing pavement to maintain structural integrity, minimize foreign object debris, and extend the taxiway's useful life.

This infrastructure improvement project will benefit the Sheridan, Wyoming region by supporting civil aviation operations and enhancing airport safety and operational efficiency. The grant includes future year funding subject to Congressional appropriations and reflects the FAA's commitment to modernizing airport infrastructure through the Airport Improvement Program, which supports the development and maintenance of public-use airports nationwide to meet civil aeronautics needs and provide long-term economic benefits to communities.
