Rehabilitate runway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $445,678.95 to the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics on August 18, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to support runway rehabilitation and design planning at airports associated with Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This formula grant funds Phase 1 design activities for the rehabilitation of approximately 20,307 linear feet of existing paved runways across multiple runway systems (Runway 18-36 and Runway 17/35), with completion targeted for August 17, 2029.

The grant enables critical infrastructure maintenance and modernization work designed to maintain structural integrity, minimize foreign object debris, and extend the useful life of airport runways serving the Oklahoma City region. As an initial design-phase award, these funds support planning and engineering activities that precede construction implementation. The Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics, as the awardee, will manage the project in compliance with FAA requirements, including environmental assessments, periodic reporting on project status, and maintenance of airport layout plans and accounting records throughout the grant agreement period.
