Illinois Valley Airport runway extension gets $68,684 state grant from ODAV
Summary
The board approved an Oregon Department of Aviation grant agreement providing about $68,684 as the state's match for an FAA runway extension project; county staff said runway work is substantially complete and remaining taxiway work awaits additional federal funds.
The Josephine County Board of Commissioners approved an Oregon Department of Aviation (ODAV) grant agreement June 2 that provides approximately $68,684 toward the Illinois Valley Airport runway extension project.
Airport Manager Michael Crissafuli said the ODAV award is the State of Oregon's matching contribution to a larger Federal Aviation Administration grant. He reported that major runway improvements are substantially complete and that remaining taxiway work will proceed after the county receives additional federal funding. Staff also discussed the timing of reimbursements and anticipated repayment of temporary General Fund advances used during construction.
Commissioner Colene Martin moved to approve ODAV Grant Agreement COAR‑2025‑3S8‑00010; Commissioner Gary Richardson seconded. The motion carried on a roll call vote of 3–0.
The board did not detail the total project budget or the size of the FAA grant during the verbal workshop report; those figures are part of the project packet and not specified in the spoken record.
