The federal grant awards received by City Of Walker primarily center on airport infrastructure development and maintenance through the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program. Notable grants include a $497,777.78 award for snow removal equipment replacement, a project designed to upgrade existing airport equipment that has reached the end of its useful life. Additional grants have focused on comprehensive airport improvements, such as pavement surface and joint sealing for runways, taxiways, and aprons, and constructing a 1,600 square foot snow removal equipment building to protect airport machinery from adverse weather conditions. The city has also received COVID-19 related economic relief funds through the American Rescue Plan Act, which supported airport operations, personnel costs, cleaning services, and pandemic response efforts. All grants have been administered through the Great Lakes Region, with project timelines typically ranging from four to five years and aimed at enhancing airport safety, operational efficiency, and infrastructure resilience.
