This grant funds Phase 1 of a comprehensive project to rehabilitate 6,000 feet of existing paved Runway 16/34, which will maintain structural integrity, minimize foreign object debris, and extend the runway's useful life. The design phase is expected to be completed by September 2, 2029.

The Airport Improvement Program, which encompasses traditional AIP (Airport Improvement Program) funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and legacy COVID-19 relief grants, supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment. As the grant recipient and administrator, Yolo County will be responsible for project management, coordination with FAA oversight, and submission of periodic progress reports detailing project bidding, contracting, and completion milestones throughout the project period.
