Construct taxiway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Eastern Region awarded South Jersey Transportation Authority a $2.45 million Project Grant on August 4, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to support Phase 2 design activities for the construction of a new 3,800-foot Taxiway R at Atlantic City International Airport. This project will bring the airport into conformity with current Federal Aviation Administration standards and is scheduled for completion by August 3, 2029. The grant funds the detailed design phase necessary to advance the taxiway construction initiative, which represents a critical infrastructure improvement for the Atlantic City region's aviation facilities.

The Airport Improvement Program, administered by the FAA, provides federal grants to support the development, modernization, and maintenance of airport infrastructure nationwide, encompassing traditional AIP funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act appropriations, and COVID-19 relief grants. By funding the design phase of this taxiway project, the grant advances the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while supporting long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment in New Jersey's public-use airport system.
