Jackson, Wyo. — The Jackson town council on April 20 approved a resolution authorizing acceptance of an FAA Airport Improvement Grant agreement (3-56-0014-090-2026) in the amount of $1,805,522 to fund phase 1 design for rehabilitation of South Taxiway A at Jackson Hole Airport.

Lenemann said the total program of work is estimated at roughly $29 million and that the airport will pursue additional federal funding for construction.
