Reconstruct apron

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $4.8 million to the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on July 24, 2025, to fund Phase 2 construction of an apron reconstruction project. The project will reconstruct 28,040 square yards of the existing East General Aviation Apron pavement at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport in Reno, Nevada, infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful life. The award supports critical airport infrastructure modernization and is expected to be completed by July 23, 2029.

This grant represents a standard Airport Improvement Program infrastructure investment supporting the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence. The Airport Improvement Program provides federal funding to public-use airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems to develop and maintain adequate airport infrastructure for civil aeronautics. The four-year performance period is typical for airport construction projects and allows sufficient time for design completion, bid processes, and construction execution under FAA grant requirements.
