Reconstruct taxiway; reconstruct apron

The City of Dunsmuir received a Project Grant award of $162,545.26 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), effective August 28, 2025, with a completion date of August 27, 2029. This grant funds a portion of Phase 2 construction activities at Dunsmuir Municipal/Mott Airport in Dunsmuir, California, supporting critical airfield infrastructure rehabilitation.

The project delivers reconstruction of deteriorated airport pavement infrastructure, specifically 3,367 square yards of apron pavement at the north end of the airport and 650 linear feet of paved taxiway pavement that has reached the end of its useful life. These reconstruction activities are designed to restore structural integrity and extend the operational life of essential airfield surfaces. The FAA grant is coordinated with an associated Airport Improvement Program grant that funds the remaining eligible portion of the project, enabling the airport to complete comprehensive pavement rehabilitation necessary for maintaining safe and efficient airport operations.
