Reconstruct runway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a $395,678.95 Project Grant on September 15, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to administer a state block grant program providing sub-awards for nonprimary airport improvements within Texas. The grant will fund airport infrastructure development projects at eligible civilian public-use airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems, with a project completion deadline of September 14, 2029.

Under this award, TxDOT is distributing federal funding to eligible airport sponsors within the state. A sub-award issued on September 18, 2025, directed $395,678.95 to the City of Big Spring for runway pavement reconstruction at a nonprimary airport facility. The project, identified as RW 06/24 Pavement Reconstruction, is being designed by the airport's Engineer of Record, Woolpert, on a reimbursable basis. This infrastructure investment supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while maintaining adequate airport infrastructure to meet civil aeronautics needs across the state.
