Shift taxiway; rehabilitate runway

The City of Arco received a Project Grant award of $245,494.74 from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Northwest Mountain Region under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), effective September 12, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 11, 2029. This grant funds a portion of two critical infrastructure projects at Arco Municipal Airport: the rehabilitation of 4,800 feet of existing paved Runway 6/24 to maintain structural integrity and minimize foreign object debris, and the reconfiguration of Taxiway A to provide access to the relocated Runway 6 threshold while replacing two runway connectors with a single connector to meet Federal Aviation Administration design standards.

The grant is part of a larger Airport Improvement Program initiative, with an associated companion grant funding the remaining eligible project portions. These improvements are designed to extend the useful life of existing runway infrastructure while enhancing airport operational efficiency and safety compliance at the Arco, Idaho facility. Upon completion, the projects will support the airport's role within the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems and ensure continued safe operations for civil aeronautics.
