State block grant program nonprimary/cargo/state apportionment allocation

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a Formula Grant of $9,157,894.74 to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on September 18, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106). This grant, funded through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, increases the federal cost-share to 100 percent and enables TxDOT to administer sub-awards for airport infrastructure improvements at nonprimary airports throughout Texas. The grant period extends through September 17, 2029, providing sustained funding for capital projects at regional airports across the state.

Through this state block grant allocation, TxDOT distributed federal funds to five sub-awardee municipalities and one county for targeted airport infrastructure projects. Specific deliverables include pavement improvements and apron expansion at Arlington (awarded April 30, 2026); box hangar design-build construction at Wichita Falls (December 17, 2025); taxiway realignment and rehabilitation at McKinney (November 21, 2025); jet-fuel farm expansion at Granbury (October 6, 2025); runway rehabilitation at San Antonio (September 25, 2025); and taxilane and apron construction for hangar development at Grayson County (September 19, 2025). These infrastructure projects enhance operational capabilities and safety at nonprimary airports while supporting regional economic development across Texas.
