Reseal/resurface runway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the New Hampshire Department of Transportation a $265,780 Project Grant on September 8, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to administer a State Block Grant Program for nonprimary airport infrastructure improvements within New Hampshire. The grant period extends through September 7, 2029, and provides federal funding to support airport development and maintenance projects across the state's eligible nonprimary airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems.

Under this award, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation is distributing sub-grant funding to eligible airport sponsors for runway rehabilitation and resurfacing work. A sub-award to the City of Nashua (operating as Nashua Airport Authority) was issued on November 12, 2025, to conduct crack sealing, rubber removal, and pavement marking on Runway 14-32 at Boire Field. Through this block grant structure, the state agency serves as the administrator and disbursing entity for airport infrastructure projects, enabling multiple nonprimary airports throughout New Hampshire to access federal resources for critical maintenance and modernization activities.
