Rehabilitate taxiway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the City of Houston, through its Aviation Department, a $34.94 million Project Grant on July 9, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP), Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106). This grant funds the final construction phase of taxiway rehabilitation at Houston-area airports, specifically the rehabilitation of 3,600 feet of existing paved Taxiway SA and 3,600 feet of Taxiway SB. The project aims to maintain structural pavement integrity and extend the useful life of these critical airport infrastructure assets.

The project is scheduled for completion by July 8, 2029, with work to be performed in Humble, Texas. This infrastructure investment aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of enhancing airport safety and operational efficiency while supporting the nationwide airport system's capability to meet civil aeronautics needs. As a recipient of AIP funding, the City of Houston is required to maintain airport layout plans, retain accounting records for three years following final expenditure reporting, and submit periodic progress reports detailing project bidding, contract awards, work commencement, and completion milestones.
