Rehabilitate apron; rehabilitate taxilane

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $211,540 to the Shasta County Department of Public Works on August 28, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to fund the final construction phase of two pavement rehabilitation projects at Fall River Mills Airport in California. The grant will rehabilitate 800 linear feet of existing Taxilane A pavement and 18,000 square yards of existing South Apron pavement to maintain structural integrity, minimize foreign object debris accumulation, and extend the useful life of these critical airport infrastructure components. The project has an anticipated completion date of August 27, 2029.

The Airport Improvement Program, administered by the FAA's Western Pacific Region, supports the development and modernization of public-use airport infrastructure nationwide through project-based grants that align with Federal Aviation Administration strategic objectives in safety and operational excellence. As a county government agency with demonstrated expertise in managing federal airport infrastructure projects, the Shasta County Department of Public Works will oversee construction activities for these pavement rehabilitation efforts, which represent part of a broader investment in regional airport infrastructure maintenance and development.
