Reconstruct taxilane; shift taxiway

The City of Fallon received a $1,446,428.42 Project Grant awarded on September 2, 2025, under the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), which encompasses Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs and COVID-19 Airports Programs. The grant funds critical airfield infrastructure rehabilitation and reconfiguration projects at Fallon Municipal Airport through September 1, 2029. Specifically, the funding supports the reconstruction of three taxilanes that have reached the end of their useful life: 105 feet of Taxilane 5, 230 feet of Taxilane 7, and 565 feet of Taxilane 6. Additionally, the grant finances the relocation of Taxiway G by 500 feet to align the airport's infrastructure with current Federal Aviation Administration standards.

These pavement reconstruction and taxiway reconfiguration projects will enhance the airport's operational safety, efficiency, and long-term infrastructure integrity. The grant directly supports the Federal Aviation Administration's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while maintaining a comprehensive system of public-use airports adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs. Upon completion, Fallon Municipal Airport will operate in full conformity with current safety and design standards, providing enhanced functionality for both civilian aviation operations and the surrounding Nevada community.
