The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Eastern Region, awarded a $25.8 million Project Grant on August 6, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to the Maryland Aviation Administration (doing business as BWI) to execute the final construction phase of critical airport infrastructure improvements serving Glen Burnie, Maryland. The project encompasses the reconstruction of 1,300 linear feet of deteriorated Taxiway T pavement, rehabilitation of Taxiway T lighting systems to extend operational life, and reconstruction of 50,000 square yards of existing DX/DY apron pavement that has reached the end of its service life. This grant funds a portion of eligible construction costs, with an associated Airport Infrastructure Grant funding the remaining eligible project components.

The project is scheduled for completion by August 5, 2029, with performance activities conducted in Millersville, Maryland.
