The City of Chico received a $239,716.84 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106) to perform pavement maintenance and preservation work at Chico's nonprimary airport. The project, awarded on September 10, 2025, with an anticipated completion date of September 9, 2029, encompasses two primary deliverables: the resealing and resurfacing of 45,000 square yards of existing south apron pavement and joints, and the resealing and resurfacing of 450 feet of existing Taxiway R pavement and joints. These activities are designed to extend the useful life of the airport's existing infrastructure.

The FAA's Airport Improvement Program provides federal funding to support the development, modernization, and maintenance of airport infrastructure nationwide. By addressing deferred pavement maintenance through cost-effective resealing and resurfacing activities, this award enables the City of Chico to preserve critical airfield surfaces and maintain safe, operational airport facilities that serve the civil aviation needs of the community and region.
