That an airport is designated open for public use is not sufficient to qualify for FAA grants.

From https://www.faa.gov/airports/aip/overview/:

AIP grants for planning, development, or noise compatibility projects are at or associated with individual public-use airports (including heliports and seaplane bases). A public-use airport is an airport open to the public that also meets the following criteria:

Publicly owned, or
Privately owned but designated by FAA as a reliever, or
Privately owned but having scheduled service and at least 2,500 annual enplanements.

Further, to be eligible for a grant, an airport must be included in the NPIAS. The NPIAS, which is prepared and published every 2 years, identifies public-use airports that are important to public transportation and contribute to the needs of civil aviation, national defense, and the Postal service.

L16 is not found in the NPIAS list, so not eligible for funding.
