Reconstruct taxilane

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Western Pacific Region, awarded the City of Scottsdale a Project Grant totaling $393,181.05 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to reconstruct 555 feet of existing taxilane pavement at Scottsdale-area airports. The project was awarded on September 4, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 3, 2029. This grant addresses critical airport infrastructure maintenance by replacing taxilane pavement that has reached the end of its useful life, ensuring safe and efficient aircraft ground operations.

The Airport Improvement Program, which encompasses traditional AIP funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and legacy COVID-19 relief grants, supports airport development and modernization nationwide. Taxilane reconstruction projects such as this one fall within the program's eligible activities for airfield pavement work and are fundamental to maintaining the operational integrity of the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems. The grant funding enables the City of Scottsdale to execute necessary pavement rehabilitation without imposing the full financial burden on local resources, thereby supporting the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence in civil aviation infrastructure.
