Ashland approves $600,000 FAA grant agreement for runway resurfacing at regional airport

The City of Ashland approved a municipal order authorizing the mayor to execute a grant agreement—approximately $600,000—with the Federal Aviation Administration, the U.S. Department of Transportation, Boyd County, Greenup County and the Ashland-Boyd County Airport Board to resurface Runway 10-28 at Ashland Regional Airport.

The municipal order, as read into the record, described the grant arrangement and an approximate grant amount of $600,000. Commissioners voted in favor by voice vote. The municipal order instructs staff to execute the grant agreement and related documents so the project may proceed under the FAA’s grant terms.

The meeting record did not include a project schedule, match requirements, or a procurement contract award for the paving work; staff follow-up was implied to finalize the grant paperwork and any required local match or procurement actions.
