Federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants of about $39.5 million will help seven primary (commercial) airports across the state with needed improvements to their passenger and aviation facilities. In addition, AIP grants of almost $10 million will help 18 medium and small General Aviation airports across Idaho maintain and improve their aviation facilities.
A local match of $3.2 million also is included in the total.
"Idaho has a somewhat larger FAA program this year than previous years, with a few notable improvements," said Bill Statham, Idaho Division of Aeronautics Airport planning and development manager.
The Idaho Airport Aid Program (IAAP) will benefit 7 primary, 18 General Aviation, and five community airports throughout Idaho with $1 million. Here is a list of Gem State airports that received those grants:
