Extend/expand runway

The City of Enterprise received a $2.46 million Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs, awarded on September 18, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 17, 2029. This grant funds Phase 3 of the Enterprise Municipal Airport runway extension project, which includes roadway relocation and runway extension design activities. The project extends the existing paved Runway 5/23 by an additional 500 feet to accommodate a broader fleet mix and enhance airport operational capacity.

The products and services delivered through this grant consist of engineering design work for both the roadway relocation required to accommodate the runway expansion and the runway extension itself. As a design-phase planning project, Phase 3 establishes the technical and engineering foundation for subsequent construction phases of the runway extension initiative, enabling the airport to serve a wider range of aircraft types. This grant represents continued federal investment in Enterprise Municipal Airport infrastructure, complementing prior FAA funding for earlier phases of the comprehensive runway modernization program.
