The Colorado Aeronautical Board (CAB) approved the FY2024\nstate and locally funded discretionary aviation grants for Colorado airports\nduring a January 23, 2024, CAB meeting. The unanimous decision authorized the\ndistribution of $11.3 million in state aviation fuel tax revenues through\ngrants to 21 Colorado public-use airports under the Colorado Discretionary\nAviation Grant (CDAG) Program administered by the Colorado Department of\nTransportation\u2019s (CDOT) Division of Aeronautics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grants ranged from $67,500 and as much as $2 million.\nThis year\u2019s grant awards were categorized into six different project types\nincluding airfield construction and rehabilitation, pavement maintenance, snow\nremoval equipment and storage facilities, weather reporting, and other airport\nprojects. 40% of this year\u2019s discretionary aviation grant awards were allocated\nto support seven airfield construction and rehabilitation projects, including a\n$2 million grant awarded to Greeley-Weld County Airport to fund 90% of the cost\nof rehabilitating the airport\u2019s general aviation apron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“On behalf of the Greeley-Weld County Airport Authority\nstaff and board, we are grateful for the CDOT Division of Aeronautics’ decision\nto fund our main ramp rehabilitation project. This grant and previous grants we\nhave received from the division have been integral to the airport’s safety and\nsuccess over the years. We look forward to the continued work that the division\nputs into building and maintaining Colorado’s aviation network and would like\nto thank the staff for their commitment to their work,” said Greeley-Weld\nCounty Airport Director Cooper Anderson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
