Extend/expand taxilane; construct taxilane

The City of Fallon received a $168,200 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) awarded on September 3, 2025. Phase 1 of this project consists of design services for taxilane infrastructure improvements at Fallon Regional Airport. The project encompasses two primary components: construction of a new 300-foot taxilane and extension of an existing taxilane by 900 feet with a 35-foot width increase. These improvements are intended to provide airfield access to a non-exclusive hangar development area and bring the airport into conformity with current Federal Aviation Administration standards.

The grant funding supports the design phase of the taxilane project, with an ultimate completion date of September 2, 2029. Upon completion, these infrastructure improvements will enhance airport operational capacity and facilitate the development of additional hangar facilities, thereby supporting the airport's long-term economic viability and civil aeronautics needs. The City of Fallon, as the grant recipient, has demonstrated significant capacity in airport infrastructure development through its history of successfully executing Federal Aviation Administration-funded projects.
