Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Santa Rosa received a $341,232.63 Project Grant award on September 18, 2025, from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Southwestern Region under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), which encompasses traditional Airport Improvement Program funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and COVID-19 relief grants. The award funds Phase 1 of a comprehensive airport rehabilitation initiative designed to maintain and extend the useful life of critical airfield infrastructure at Santa Rosa Airport in Santa Rosa, New Mexico.

The grant specifically supports preliminary engineering services for two distinct rehabilitation projects: the comprehensive rehabilitation of 5,012 feet of existing paved Runway 01/19 and 5,450 feet of existing paved Taxiway A. Both projects prioritize maintaining structural pavement integrity and minimizing foreign object debris to extend infrastructure longevity and operational safety. The project is scheduled for completion by September 17, 2029, allowing adequate time for design development and subsequent construction phases.
