Federal Grant Award Summary

The Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA), doing business as BWI, received a $83.2 million Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Eastern Region under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) awarded on July 28, 2026. The project, with an anticipated completion date of July 27, 2030, will rehabilitate 10,503 feet of existing paved Runway 10/28 at airports associated with Glen Burnie, Maryland, and upgrade the associated runway lighting infrastructure. These improvements are designed to maintain structural integrity, minimize foreign object debris, and extend the useful life of the critical airport infrastructure.

This initiative represents a substantial infrastructure investment funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which allocated $14.5 billion over five years for airport improvements nationwide. The work will be performed at the Millersville, Maryland location and aligns with the Airport Infrastructure Grants program's focus on funding runway, taxiway, and safety projects at airports listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. As is typical for awards under this program, the project is expected to be completed within the four-year maximum performance period, with recipients required to submit periodic progress reports detailing project bidding, contract awards, work initiation, and completion milestones.
