# 9/29/26 Board of County Commissioners: Airport

The Kootenai County Board of Commissioners’ airport meeting on September 29, 2026, included an update on the Taxiway Alpha reconstruction, described as the airport’s major FAA grant project. The grant had been signed a couple of weeks earlier, and construction was planned for May 2027; no grant amount was stated. Staff are preparing an advertisement for a consultant for the airport master plan and expect to bring the advertisement language to the board for review and approval before it is published, likely the following month. No consultant selection, contract award, or spending vote was reported.
