This Project will allow for future Airport development and will help alleviate the current issue of limited hangar space. These taxilanes will be designed to support a mixture of both T-Hangars and Box Hangars, allowing for a variety of different aircraft to be housed at the Airport. This Project will also consist of rehabilitating the failed pavement on Taxilane Kilo on the northeast side of the Airport (see attached map). This pavement is original to the old Oak Grove Airport that was closed in 1989, and according to the results of a Pavement Condition Index (PCI), Taxilane Kilo's PCI Rating indicates the taxilane pavement has failed and is in dire need of repair. The failed pavement on Taxilane Kilo currently provides access to three hangars, along with available space that could be used for future development. This Project will not only greatly improve Taxilane Kilo for current users, but for future users as well. Funding for the required City match has already been appropriated in previous M&Cs from the Municipal Airport Capital Projects Fund in the Future Grant Matches project. Since no City salaries will be charged to these grants, indirect cost recovery does not apply. The grant application repository number is GRNT-APPL-0000000153.
