BISMARCK, N.D. – The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $100,000 to the Barnes County Municipal Airport Authority. These Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) Program funds will support the reconstruction of the existing airport lighting vault which has met its life expectancy.

The fully paid-for Bipartisan Infrastructure Law established the AIG program in 2021 to provide airports funding for modernization and safety projects according to North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer’s office.
