Reconstruct taxiway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Western Pacific Region awarded $3.31 million to the City of Hayward on September 17, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to reconstruct 3,497 linear feet of deteriorated Taxiway Z West pavement at Hayward Executive Airport. This project grant funds the final construction phase of taxiway rehabilitation work, with the grant serving as a portion of total project funding through an associated Airport Improvement Program grant that covers the remaining eligible costs. The project is anticipated for completion by September 16, 2029.

The reconstruction effort will modernize critical airport infrastructure by replacing existing paved taxiway that has reached the end of its useful life, supporting the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence at the civilian public-use airport. This infrastructure investment aligns with the Airport Improvement Program's mission to develop and maintain a nationwide system of airports adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs while supporting long-term economic benefits for the Hayward area.
