Reconstruct taxilane; rehabilitate apron; reconstruct apron; update pavement management plan

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Northwest Mountain Region awarded Jackson County Airport Authority $4,752,365.87 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) on July 10, 2026, to reconstruct and rehabilitate pavement at Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport in Medford, Oregon.

The project reconstructs 750 feet of taxilane pavement and 8,000 square yards of the northwest apron, both of which have reached the end of useful life. The award also funds rehabilitation of 30,000 square yards of southeast apron pavement to maintain structural integrity and minimize foreign object debris. Jackson County Airport Authority will update the airport's pavement management plan and existing pavement survey and study.

Performance runs through July 9, 2030. The Airport Improvement Program supports development of a nationwide system of public-use airports adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs, with investment in infrastructure that supports long-term economic benefits. Recipients must maintain an airport layout plan for the ordinary 20-year grant agreement period and retain accounting records for three years after submission of the final expenditure report.
