Extend/expand taxiway

The City of Kingman received a $215,000 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 6, 2025, with a completion date of August 5, 2029. This grant funds the design phase for a taxiway extension project at Kingman Regional Airport that will extend an existing paved taxiway by 1,700 feet to bring the facility into conformity with current FAA standards. The project is associated with a complementary Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) grant that will fund the remaining eligible portion of the construction phase.

The grant provides federal funding to support the planning and design activities necessary for the taxiway expansion initiative. As a design-phase grant, the $215K obligation supports the professional engineering, environmental assessment, and project planning requirements mandated by the FAA prior to construction commencement. This funding structure aligns with the Airport Improvement Program's broader mission to modernize airport infrastructure and maintain a safe, efficient nationwide system of public-use airports adequate to meet civil aviation needs.
