Rehabilitate taxilane

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the City of Bend, Oregon a $1.93 million project grant on September 16, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to rehabilitate airport taxilane pavement infrastructure. This Phase 2 construction project will restore approximately 12,000 linear feet of existing Southwest, Northwest, and West taxilanes pavement at the Bend airport facility, extending the useful life of the airfield's ground transportation infrastructure. The project is scheduled for completion by September 15, 2029.

The Airport Improvement Program, which encompasses traditional AIP funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and COVID-19 relief grants, supports the modernization and maintenance of public-use airport infrastructure nationwide. By funding this taxilane rehabilitation at Bend's airport, the grant directly contributes to the FAA's strategic objectives of maintaining a safe and efficient national airport system while supporting regional transportation infrastructure and long-term economic benefits.
