Rehabilitate taxiway

The County of San Luis Obispo received a $3.33 million Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Western Pacific Region, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to rehabilitate approximately 6,101 linear feet of existing paved Taxiway A at San Luis Obispo County Airport. The project, awarded on September 19, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 18, 2029, is designed to maintain pavement structural integrity, minimize foreign object debris accumulation, and extend the taxiway's operational useful life. This grant funds a portion of the total eligible project costs, with an associated Airport Improvement Program grant covering the remaining eligible expenses.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and traditional Airport Improvement Program funding support critical airport infrastructure modernization nationwide, with this award contributing to the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence. As a civilian public-use airport within the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems, San Luis Obispo County Airport qualifies for federal infrastructure investment under these programs, which prioritize runway and taxiway rehabilitation, safety enhancements, and long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment.
