The Utah Airport Revitalization Grant is an annual funding opportunity, designed to enhance the visual appeal of airport facilities and grounds across the state. Open to all public use airports in Utah, this grant supports projects that improve aesthetics and increase visibility within the airport environment.

Each year the Utah Division of Aeronautics allocates a total of $200,000 to fund selected projects. Awards are distributed according to an agreed upon payment schedule, based on the scope and needs of each project.

The program’s goal is to support multiple small scale improvement projects to elevate the appearance and experience at Utah’s airports.

*This grant does not take away or add to any existing Airport Capital Improvement Plans (ACIP), or Airport Layout Plans (ALP).

Application

Going forward, Revitalization Grant applications will be due July 1st each year for funding consideration in the following fiscal year. Therefore, all applications for FY 2027 must be submitted by July 1, 2026.

Completed proposals must be submitted using Blackcat. When uploading your project, please include “Revitalization FY(year)” in the project title to ensure it is properly identified and entered for the correct fiscal year.
