Malone board endorses FAA grants for airport access road design and pavement study
Summary
The Town of Malone unanimously approved SEQR Type II determinations and municipal-endorsement resolutions to accept FAA AIP grants to design reconstruction of an airport hangar access road and to fund a pavement management plan and initial pavement condition survey at Malone Dufort Airport.
The Town Board of Malone unanimously approved resolutions on Feb. 25 endorsing federal and state aid to support two Malone Dufort Airport projects: design work to reconstruct about 740 feet of hangar access road and a pavement management plan and initial pavement condition survey.
The board classified both projects as SEQR Type II actions (ministerial/exempt) and authorized the supervisor to execute necessary documents with the New York State Department of Transportation to accept Federal Aviation Administration AIP grant funds. The design project was listed as FAA AIP Project No. 3-36-0053-050-2025 with a total project cost shown as $120,171, funded as Federal $114,162; State $3,005; Local $3,004. The pavement plan/project (FAA AIP Project No. 3-36-0053-051-2025) showed a total project cost of $99,999, with Federal $94,999; State $2,500; Local $2,500.
Supervisor Terry Maguire and Deputy Supervisor Andrea Stewart led the motions adopting Resolutions 56-2026 through 59-2026. Each resolution carried by a unanimous 4-0 vote recorded in the minutes.
The resolutions direct the town to enter agreements with NYSDOT to secure the federal grants and authorize the supervisor to sign required documents. They also note that, if federal eligible costs increase, the state share may increase proportionately up to a 15% cap. The board record does not specify contractors, timelines for construction, or anticipated start dates; those details were not provided in the meeting minutes.
The action clears a procedural hurdle for the airport projects by documenting environmental classification and municipal endorsement; subsequent design, bidding and construction steps remain subject to separate approvals and contracts.
