Rehabilitate apron

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a Project Grant of $339,617.89 to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport on September 3, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), which encompasses Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs and COVID-19 Airports Programs. This grant funds Phase 1 (design) of an apron pavement rehabilitation project that will address 55,176 square yards of existing airline apron pavement to maintain structural integrity and support long-term airport infrastructure functionality.

The design phase funded by this award will establish the technical foundation for the subsequent rehabilitation work at the airport located in Pittston, Pennsylvania. The project is scheduled for completion by September 2, 2029, allowing sufficient time for comprehensive design development and future construction implementation phases. This investment supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while contributing to the broader goal of maintaining an adequate nationwide system of public-use airports to meet civil aeronautics needs.
