Rehabilitate taxiway lighting; rehabilitate taxiway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Southern Region awarded $1,125,940 on July 21, 2025, to the Titusville-Cocoa Airport Authority under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) for the rehabilitation of Taxiway A and its associated lighting systems at Titusville-Cocoa Airport in Titusville, Florida. This award funds Phase 1 (design) of a comprehensive rehabilitation project covering 6,500 linear feet of existing paved taxiway. The project is designed to maintain structural pavement integrity, minimize foreign object debris accumulation, and extend the taxiway's useful life, while also upgrading the existing taxiway lighting infrastructure to enhance operational safety and longevity.

The project is scheduled for completion by July 20, 2029, with an anticipated four-year performance period typical of FAA infrastructure grants. As a Phase 1 design-stage award, this funding will support planning and design activities that precede subsequent construction phases. The Titusville-Cocoa Airport Authority, a local government entity managing multiple airports in the region, has demonstrated a consistent track record of securing federal AIP grants for critical airport infrastructure improvements, including runway rehabilitation, apron reconstruction, and related airfield enhancement projects.
