The project will support the rehabilitation of 4,417 feet of existing paved Runway 2/20 to maintain structural integrity, minimize foreign object debris, and extend the runway's useful life. The design phase is expected to be completed by July 24, 2029, with the ultimate goal of preparing comprehensive design documentation that will support subsequent construction phases.

This grant represents federal investment in critical airport infrastructure maintenance through the FAA's New England Region office. The project directly benefits airports associated with Hartford, Connecticut, and aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence by ensuring continued structural integrity of essential runway assets.
