Council approves airport grant application to design taxiway and apron repairs
Summary
The council approved signing a grant application to design repairs to the airport taxiway and apron, with an estimated design cost of $145,000; the grant would cover 95% and the city and state would each cover 2.5%. Design work would be done in 2025 for implementation in 2026.
Travis Hirschey of Mead & Hunt told the Martin City Council the airport apron and taxiway are "in very poor condition" and recommended moving forward with design this year and construction in 2026. He presented an estimated design cost of $145,000; the grant program would cover 95% of the cost, leaving roughly 2.5% to the city and 2.5% to the state.
Councilmember Randy Kocourek moved to authorize signing the grant application; Warren Peterson seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The council’s approval allows the city to pursue design funding and sets up a 2026 implementation timeline if the grant is awarded.
