Construct/expand fuel farm

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the City of Arcadia, Florida, a $445,974.74 project grant on September 4, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to expand fuel infrastructure at a non-primary airport facility. The project deliverables include construction and expansion of the existing fuel farm through the addition of one new fuel tank, associated apron pavement improvements, and expanded availability of an existing fuel type. These infrastructure enhancements are designed to support airport revenue generation and financial self-sufficiency while meeting civil aeronautics needs within the region.

This project qualifies for expanded eligibility under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021 and represents the FAA's strategic investment in airport infrastructure modernization and economic development. The project completion date is September 3, 2029, providing a four-year performance period for design, construction, and project closeout activities typical of airport infrastructure initiatives. The grant directly supports the City of Arcadia's ongoing participation in federal airport improvement programs, which have historically included multiple infrastructure rehabilitation projects funded through the FAA's nationwide system for airport development.
