Update airport master plan or study; update airport master plan

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a Project Grant of $1,269,303.15 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on September 15, 2025, with a completion date of September 14, 2029. This grant establishes a state block grant program to enable TxDOT to administer federal Airport Improvement Program sub-awards to nonprimary airports throughout Texas. The primary deliverable is the administration and distribution of federal funding to eligible nonprimary airport projects within the state, with the intended outcome being the execution of airport infrastructure improvements consistent with AIP program objectives.

TxDOT, as the designated state transportation agency, will manage the allocation of these federal funds to support airport master plan updates and related airport improvement activities at qualifying nonprimary airports across Texas. The four-year project period aligns with standard AIP implementation timelines and provides TxDOT with the administrative funding necessary to process sub-award applications, monitor project compliance, and ensure proper utilization of federal resources in accordance with FAA regulations and grant agreement requirements.
