Construct/expand fuel farm

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Texas Department of Transportation a $615,789.47 Project Grant on September 15, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to administer airport infrastructure improvements for nonprimary airports throughout Texas. The grant, which extends through September 14, 2029, supports the state block grant program by providing federal funding for airport capital projects that enhance the safety and operational capacity of the state's airport system.

As a sub-awardee under this grant, the City of Granbury received funding to construct and expand a Jet-A fuel farm at Granbury Regional Airport, with work commencing October 6, 2025. The fuel system expansion is designed to enhance the airport's revenue-generating capabilities by improving its fueling infrastructure for civil aviation operations. This Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) reimbursable project aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of supporting long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment while maintaining adequate airport facilities to meet civil aeronautics needs.
