The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a $2,587,368.42 Project Grant under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on September 11, 2025, for a four-year performance period extending through September 10, 2029. This grant provides federal funding to support TxDOT's administration of a state block grant program that distributes Airport Improvement Program sub-awards to nonprimary airports throughout Texas. The primary deliverable is the development and construction of airport terminal infrastructure at eligible nonprimary airports within the state block grant program, with TxDOT serving as the administering entity responsible for allocating and overseeing the distributed sub-awards.

TxDOT has designated the Port Authority of San Antonio as a sub-grantee to execute the Earthwork Site Prep Phase II component of the project, effective October 30, 2025. This subaward addresses site preparation and earthwork activities that support the broader terminal construction objectives. As a state transportation agency with extensive experience managing FAA grants for airport infrastructure improvements, TxDOT will ensure compliance with grant requirements, including project reporting, environmental assessments, and record retention standards mandated by the Airport Improvement Program for the duration of the grant performance period.
