Reconstruct terminal

The Rhode Island Airport Corporation received a $1.5 million Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106). Awarded on July 30, 2025, with a completion date of July 29, 2029, this grant funds Phase 2 of a terminal reconstruction project at Theodore Francis Green Memorial State Airport in Warwick, Rhode Island. Phase 2 specifically focuses on terminal lighting infrastructure upgrades as part of a broader $1.5 million terminal reconstruction initiative encompassing 157,000 square feet of existing terminal space that has reached the end of its useful life.

This project represents critical infrastructure modernization for the airport's terminal facilities, addressing aging infrastructure components through systematic phased improvements. The lighting system upgrade will enhance both operational efficiency and safety within the reconstructed terminal space, supporting the FAA's strategic objectives of maintaining safe and efficient airport infrastructure. The four-year project timeline accommodates design, construction, and closeout activities typical of FAA-funded airport infrastructure projects under the Airport Improvement Program.
