The County of Grant received a $713,018.95 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) for parking lot rehabilitation at a nonprimary airport serving Silver City, New Mexico. The award, obligated on September 19, 2025, funds Phase 2 construction activities to rehabilitate an existing 57,000 square-foot nonrevenue-generating parking lot located in Hurley, New Mexico, with an ultimate completion date of September 18, 2029. This infrastructure improvement project extends the useful life of airport facilities and supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment.

The Airport Improvement Program, which encompasses traditional funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and legacy COVID-19 relief grants, supports the development, modernization, and maintenance of airport infrastructure nationwide at public-use airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems.
