The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), through its Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), awarded $453,314.74 to San Bernardino County's Airports Department on September 12, 2025, for infrastructure improvements at regional airport facilities. The project, with an ultimate completion date of September 11, 2029, will install new runway and taxiway lighting systems to bring the facilities into conformity with current FAA standards. Specifically, the grant funds installation of lighting on Runway 8/26 and connector taxiways A1, A2, A3, A4, and C, with work to be performed in Apple Valley, California, and benefiting airports associated with Daggett, California.

The Airport Improvement Program supports the development and modernization of the nation's airport infrastructure to meet civil aeronautics needs and advance FAA strategic objectives in safety and operational excellence. This project represents a typical infrastructure investment under the program, which funds runway and taxiway improvements at public-use airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems. San Bernardino County's Airports Department, a local government entity operating multiple regional airports across Southern California, will serve as the project sponsor responsible for executing the lighting installation work and maintaining required documentation and reporting throughout the four-year performance period.
