Reconstruct taxiway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Southwestern Region awarded a $4.54 million Project Grant under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to the Houma Terrebonne Airport Commission on September 18, 2025, to reconstruct 1,810 feet of taxiway pavement as the final phase of a larger taxiway rehabilitation initiative. The grant funds the reconstruction of existing Taxiway F, which has reached the end of its useful life, with the complete taxiway project encompassing 2,260 feet. The work will be performed at the Houma Terrebonne Airport in Houma, Louisiana, with an anticipated completion date of September 17, 2029.

This infrastructure investment supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits by modernizing critical airport facilities that serve the Houma region. The grant represents ongoing federal support for airport infrastructure maintenance under the Airport Improvement Program, which provides grants nationwide to develop, modernize, and maintain public-use airport infrastructure. The Houma Terrebonne Airport Commission, a local government airport authority, has consistently received FAA funding for infrastructure projects exceeding $11 million since 2021, demonstrating the sustained commitment to maintaining safe and efficient regional aviation infrastructure.
