Rehabilitate taxiway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Southern Region, awarded the Columbus Airport Commission a $290,269.47 Project Grant on September 17, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) for taxiway rehabilitation at Columbus Airport in Columbus, Georgia. This award funds Phase 1 of the project, which consists of design services for the rehabilitation of 2,500 feet of existing paved Taxiway D. The design work will establish technical specifications and construction methodologies to maintain the pavement's structural integrity and minimize foreign object debris, thereby extending the taxiway's useful life and supporting safe airport operations.

The project is scheduled for completion by September 16, 2029, accommodating the typical four-year project period for Airport Improvement Program awards that includes design, engineering, and construction phases. As a local government airport authority with a demonstrated track record of managing federal aviation infrastructure projects, the Columbus Airport Commission will utilize these funds to deliver comprehensive design documentation necessary to proceed with subsequent construction phases of the taxiway rehabilitation initiative.
