Reconstruct taxiway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a $1,788,042.22 Formula Grant to the Pease Development Authority (PDA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to reconstruct 2,110 feet of the existing paved Taxiway A at the Portsmouth International Airport. This grant, which was increased by $1,495,238 due to higher than planned bid amounts, will fund a portion of Phase 3 of the taxiway reconstruction project, with the remaining eligible portion funded by a separate Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grant. The project aims to address the end of the useful life of the existing taxiway pavement and is expected to be completed by September 8, 2028. As a local government entity managing the Portsmouth International Airport, PDA will utilize this federal funding to maintain and develop critical airport infrastructure, supporting regional transportation needs and facilitating federal agency operations through its strategic partnerships.
