Construct/expand fuel farm

On July 17, 2025, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $800,000 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to the County of Jefferson, operating as Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Broomfield, Colorado. The grant, authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), funds the expansion of an existing fuel farm facility at this non-primary airport. The project scope includes the construction and installation of one additional fuel tank with associated apron pavement to support a new fuel type, with an ultimate completion date of July 16, 2029.

By expanding fuel services, the airport will increase its self-sufficiency and better serve regional aviation needs. This infrastructure investment aligns with the FAA's broader strategic goals of operational excellence and infrastructure modernization across the national airport system, and represents a targeted regional investment managed through the FAA's Northwest Mountain Region.
