Reconstruct apron

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $197,000.00 to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on September 10, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to reconstruct an airport apron. The project is scheduled for completion by September 9, 2029. As a state block grant program administrator, TxDOT will utilize these funds to support airport infrastructure improvements at nonprimary airports throughout Texas, with the federal funding directly benefiting eligible airports within the state's aviation system.

The Airport Improvement Program, administered by the FAA, provides federal grants to support the development, modernization, and maintenance of airport infrastructure nationwide. Apron reconstruction projects fall within the program's eligible project categories, which encompass runway rehabilitation, taxiway improvements, and other airfield pavement work designed to enhance safety and operational efficiency. Through this award, TxDOT will execute the apron reconstruction work while maintaining compliance with FAA grant requirements, including environmental assessments and periodic reporting on project progress and expenditures.
