This grant funds Phase 2 (final design and construction) of a runway rehabilitation project at Theodore Francis Green Memorial State Airport in Warwick, Rhode Island. The project involves the rehabilitation of 5,700 linear feet of existing paved Runway 5/23 to maintain structural integrity, minimize foreign object debris, and extend the runway's useful life.

The grant provides federal funding to support critical airport infrastructure improvements necessary for safe and efficient aviation operations. As a state government entity responsible for operating multiple airports across Rhode Island, the Rhode Island Airport Corporation will execute the design and construction activities required to rehabilitate the runway pavement. This project aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while supporting the development of a comprehensive nationwide system of public-use airports adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs.
