Grants
Ohio Airport Grant Program
The Ohio Airport Grant Program provides financial assistance to publicly owned airports in the State that do not receive FAA passenger or air cargo entitlements. Grants may be used for airport pavement resurfacing and for obstruction removal and marking. ODOT will provide up to 80% of eligible costs for construction only. Historically, the funding amount for this program has been approximately $2 million annually. Currently, there are 98 airports that meet the program's criteria. The next cycle will start the regular annual process in which projects are selected for one fiscal year. The application cycle is annual.
Ohio ARRA Aviation Projects
More than $29.2 million in airport-specific stimulus funds through the Federal Aviation Administration have been approved and obligated for improvements at four airports across the state. These investments will go towards taxiway and safety improvements.
