Reconstruct service road

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $120,802.11 to the City of Mesquite under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 13, 2025, to fund Phase 1 design activities for the reconstruction of a 1,650-foot service road at Mesquite Airport. The existing gravel, non-public-use service road has reached the end of its useful life and currently requires airport and FAA vehicles, as well as ground service equipment, to operate in movement areas. The reconstruction project is intended to minimize these operations in active movement areas and enhance airport safety and efficiency.

The grant period extends through August 12, 2029, providing the City of Mesquite sufficient time to complete the design phase and prepare for subsequent construction phases. As a Phase 1 award focused on planning and design, this funding represents the initial stage of a larger capital improvement project under the FAA's Airport Improvement Program, which supports the development and modernization of airport infrastructure nationwide to maintain a comprehensive system of public-use airports adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs.
