Reconstruct apron

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Southwestern Region awarded $5,297,894.74 to the Houma Terrebonne Airport Commission on August 26, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to reconstruct deteriorated apron pavement at Houma Terrebonne Airport in Houma, Louisiana. Phase 1 of this project, funded through this award, encompasses the reconstruction of 12,700 square yards of the existing west apron pavement, which represents the initial phase of a larger 38,200 square-yard reconstruction effort designed to address pavement that has reached the end of its useful life. The project is scheduled for completion by August 25, 2029.

This grant supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence by modernizing critical airport infrastructure. The Airport Improvement Program provides federal funding to develop and maintain public-use airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems. The apron reconstruction project will enhance operational safety and efficiency for the regional airport serving the Houma area and represents a continuation of the airport's infrastructure modernization efforts, which have received over $11 million in federal grants since 2021 for various taxiway, pavement, and facility improvements.
