Rehabilitate apron; rehabilitate taxilane

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Sullivan County, New York, a formula grant totaling $1,472,616.84 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) for airport infrastructure rehabilitation at Monticello Airport. The award, obligated on August 26, 2025, with a completion date of August 25, 2029, funds the final construction phase of a two-part apron and taxilane rehabilitation project. Specifically, the grant supports the rehabilitation of 17,000 square yards of existing general aviation apron pavement to maintain structural integrity and minimize foreign object debris, and the rehabilitation of 2,000 feet of existing taxilane pavement that has reached the end of its useful life.

As the parent awardee, Sullivan County will deliver these pavement rehabilitation services at the Monticello airport facilities to ensure continued safe and operational airport infrastructure. The Airport Improvement Program, which encompasses traditional AIP funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and COVID-19 relief grants, supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence through nationwide airport infrastructure investment. The four-year project timeline accommodates design, construction, and closeout activities typical of AIP-supported projects.
