Commissioners approve $160,270 FAA pass-through grant for airport taxi-lane design
Summary
The board approved a pass-through FAA grant to fund design and evaluation of a new taxi lane. The grant is for $160,270; the airport will provide a 5% match of $4,007 from its own funds and no county money is required.
Daviess County commissioners approved a pass-through Federal Aviation Administration grant to fund design and evaluation work for a new taxi lane at the county airport.
An airport staff member presented the item and said the pass-through grant covers design and evaluation only and totals $160,270; the airport will provide a 5% match of $4,007 from its own budget and no county funds are required. The presenter said construction funding will be sought in a later grant round and that a second application is expected in April or May for construction.
Why it matters: the grant funds design work for airport infrastructure that supports aircraft movement and future hangar/storage needs; the county’s role is administrative pass-through and no county general-fund dollars are requested for the design grant.
A commissioner moved to approve the FAA pass-through grant and sign the agreement; another seconded. Commissioners voted “Aye,” and the motion passed 2-0. The presenter said the airport hopes to break ground on later construction in June or July, subject to future grant approval and weather conditions.
No construction contract was authorized at this meeting.
