Reseal/resurface apron

The County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works received a $1.576 million 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) awarded on September 24, 2025. The grant funds the resurfacing of approximately 71,000 square yards of existing main apron pavement at El Monte Airport, a non-primary public-use airport in El Monte, California. This infrastructure project is designed to extend the useful life of the airport's critical airfield surface and support safe, efficient airport operations.

The project is scheduled for completion by September 23, 2029, providing a four-year implementation timeline consistent with standard FAA Airport Improvement Program awards for construction initiatives. The grant directly benefits the El Monte Airport and the surrounding community by maintaining essential aviation infrastructure through pavement rehabilitation, supporting the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while contributing to the broader national system of public-use airports adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs.
