The Iowa Transportation Commission recently approved $8.8 million for the fiscal year 2024 State Aviation Program, which includes several subprograms. The AIP is funded through the State Aviation Fund for aviation safety, planning, and airport development projects throughout Iowa. Projects funded through the AIP include runway, taxiway, and apron development; fuel systems; navigational aids; maintenance of aviation weather systems; runway marking; windsocks; emergency operational repairs; land-use planning; air service development; and the mitigation of obstruction and wildlife hazards at airports. The Washington Municipal Airport was awarded $114,750 to Replace Hangar Exterior for their vertical infrastructure project. Vertical infrastructure programs provide funding for projects at general aviation and commercial service airports throughout Iowa. These programs provide funding for the maintenance and development of airport facilities, such as terminal buildings, maintenance facilities, and aviation hangars. Vertical infrastructure programs are typically funded from the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund.
