This $16,942,238.67 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) will fund infrastructure improvements at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. Specifically, the grant will be used to reconstruct 1,200 feet of deteriorating taxiway pavement and rehabilitate 625 feet of Runway 2/20. These projects will maintain the structural integrity of the airport's pavement, minimize foreign object debris, and enhance the overall safety and operations of the airport facilities. The grant was awarded to the City of New Orleans, which manages the airport through its New Orleans Aviation Board. This federal funding supports the FAA's strategic goals of safety, operational excellence, and global leadership in the national air transportation system.
