Reconstruct taxiway

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Central Region awarded the Wichita Airport Authority $642,245.26 on August 24, 2026, to reconstruct 550 feet of existing paved Taxiway A-2 at Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport in Wichita, Kansas. The taxiway has reached the end of its useful life, and this project grant funds a portion of the total reconstruction project under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117); a companion Airport Improvement Program grant funds the remaining eligible portion. Performance will take place in Wichita, KS 67209, with an ultimate completion date of August 23, 2030. The Airport Infrastructure Grants program, authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, allocates $14.5 billion over five years for runway, taxiway, safety, sustainability, terminal, airport transit connection, and roadway projects at eligible airports listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. Grant recipients must maintain airport layout plans for the duration of the grant agreement and retain accounting records for three years after final expenditure report submission. The Wichita Airport Authority, a municipal airport authority, serves as the recipient; the City of Wichita is the parent organization.
