State block grant program nonprimary/cargo/state apportionment allocation

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) a formula grant totaling $55.6 million under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 19, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 18, 2029. This grant allocation, funded through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, provides 100% federal cost share to support airport infrastructure improvements. TxDOT administers this state block grant program to distribute funds for Airport Improvement Program sub-awards targeting nonprimary airports throughout Texas. The grant enables the state to allocate resources for various capital improvement projects at eligible nonprimary airports within the Texas state system.

Two identified sub-awardees are receiving allocations from this state block grant: the City of Arlington and the City of McKinney, Texas. The City of Arlington received a sub-award effective April 30, 2026, for pavement improvement and apron expansion at its airport facilities. The City of McKinney received a sub-award effective November 21, 2025, to support realignment and rehabilitation of Taxiway A Phase II at its municipal airport. These airport infrastructure projects support the FAA's strategic objectives of enhancing airport safety, operational efficiency, and long-term economic benefits through modernization of critical aviation facilities.
