Reseal/resurface taxiway; reseal/resurface apron; reseal/resurface taxilane

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Port Townsend Port Of a formula grant of $625,405.92 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 16, 2025, for airport pavement maintenance and preservation at Port Townsend Airport in Port Townsend, Washington. The project encompasses resealing and resurfacing of critical airfield infrastructure, including 100,000 square yards of the North General Aviation Apron, approximately 11,600 linear feet of taxilanes (Northeast, C, and Northwest designations), and 4,800 linear feet of Taxiway A. These pavement preservation activities are designed to extend the useful life of existing infrastructure and maintain safe operational conditions at this nonprimary airport facility.

The grant period extends through September 15, 2029, providing a four-year implementation timeline typical of FAA infrastructure projects. This formula grant reflects the FAA's strategic commitment to maintaining adequate public-use airport infrastructure and supporting long-term economic benefits through transportation system investment. The work performed directly supports the FAA's safety and operational excellence objectives while ensuring sustained functionality of essential airfield pavements serving the Port Townsend aviation community.
