Reconstruct terminal components

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region awarded the City of Tyler, a formula grant of $131,742.11 on August 21, 2026, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) to reconstruct terminal components by repairing an elevator that has reached the end of its useful life at Tyler's municipal airport.

The award extends through August 20, 2030, with place of performance in Tyler, TX 75704. The grant funds airport infrastructure investment to support the development of a nationwide system of airports adequate to meet the needs of civil aeronautics, with environmental impact assessment and preapplication coordination required under the program. The City of Tyler, a municipality and federal grant recipient that operates exclusively in the grant space rather than contract procurement, receives this funding as a prime recipient. The city has received multiple prior FAA Southwestern Region awards for Tyler airport modernization, including a $2.16 million boarding bridge installation grant and a $251,300 runway approach land and easement acquisition grant.
