Reconstruct apron

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Western Pacific Region awarded Sonoma County Airport a formula grant of $2,561,622.11 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs on September 22, 2025. The grant funds Phase 3 reconstruction of 6,010 square yards of terminal apron pavement at the airport, which has reached the end of its useful life. This award is paired with an associated Airport Infrastructure Grant that funds the remaining eligible portion of the project, with completion anticipated by September 21, 2029.

As a civilian airport infrastructure investment, this grant supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits by modernizing critical aviation infrastructure serving the Santa Rosa, California region. The project directly benefits Sonoma County Airport's operational capabilities and regional transportation infrastructure by addressing deferred maintenance through new pavement construction, consistent with the Airport Improvement Program's mission to develop and maintain a nationwide system of public-use airports adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs.
