Reconstruct apron

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Western Pacific Region, awarded Sonoma County Airport $1,940,116.84 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 22, 2025, to reconstruct 6,010 square yards of deteriorated terminal apron pavement. This project grant funds the construction phase of a larger apron reconstruction initiative, with an anticipated completion date of September 21, 2029. The airport is addressing critical pavement infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful life, and this federal funding represents a portion of the total eligible project costs, with an associated Airport Improvement Program grant funding the remaining eligible expenses.

The reconstruction of the terminal apron pavement will enhance airport operational capacity and safety at Charles M. Schulz Sonoma Airport, a critical regional transportation infrastructure facility serving Santa Rosa and Sonoma County, California. This award aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while supporting long-term economic benefits through essential airport infrastructure modernization. The project is consistent with the airport's broader federal funding history, which has supported comprehensive infrastructure improvements including runway and taxiway rehabilitation, safety enhancements, and equipment acquisitions.
