Reconstruct taxilane; reconstruct apron

The Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority received a $207,900 Project Grant award from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 8, 2025, with completion scheduled for August 7, 2029. The award funds Phase 1 (design services) for reconstruction of taxilane and apron infrastructure at airports associated with Walbridge, Ohio, located in Swanton. The project encompasses the design of reconstruction for 1,350 linear feet of deteriorated T-Hangar Taxilanes A and B pavement and 4,400 square yards of end-of-life T-Hangar C apron pavement.

The Airport Improvement Program provides federal funding to support airport infrastructure development and modernization nationwide. This award specifically supports the design phase of critical airfield pavement rehabilitation work necessary to maintain safe and efficient airport operations. Upon completion of the design phase, the project would advance to construction phases in subsequent funding cycles, enabling the reconstruction of essential taxilane and apron surfaces that have reached the end of their serviceable lives.
