The grant provides $1,485,570 to reconstruct 8,030 square yards of the existing general aviation apron pavement and expand the existing general aviation apron by adding 6,583 square yards, constructing a new 1,600-foot paved Taxiway A, and installing new lighting equipment. “Elbow Lake Municipal Airport is an essential link for residents and businesses in Grant County and beyond,” said Klobuchar. “This federal grant will make needed infrastructure updates to ensure the airport can continue serving travelers for years to come.” “I’m glad to see the Biden-Harris administration once again delivering for travelers in Minnesota and around the country,” said Smith. “Small and regional airports like the Elbow Lake Municipal Airport are vital parts of their communities and this funding will go directly towards making structural upgrades to ensure it is safe and functional for travelers.” This funding is from the Airport Improvement Program (AIP), which provides federal grants for airport infrastructure projects such as runways, taxiways, signage, lighting, and markings. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:55:29Z |
