The grant provides $352,548 to start Phase 1 of the Runway 13/31 improvement project. Improvements include reconstructing 900 feet of existing paved shoulders, acquiring three acres of land to protect the runway approaches, and conducting an environmental assessment. “St. Cloud Regional Airport is an essential link for residents and businesses in the tri-county region 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 St. Cloud Regional Airport are vital parts of their communities and this funding will go directly towards repaving roads and making other structural upgrades to ensure the airport 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 |
