On September 17, 2025, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a Project Grant of $222,300 to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106). This grant is designed to support the state block grant program administered by TxDOT, which distributes federal funding to eligible nonprimary airports throughout Texas for infrastructure rehabilitation and modernization projects. The grant will remain active through September 16, 2029, providing resources for critical airfield infrastructure improvements.

The specific products and services funded under this award include the rehabilitation of taxiways, aprons, taxilanes, and runways at nonprimary airports in Texas. TxDOT has distributed sub-awards to accomplish these objectives: the City of Galveston received funding (awarded February 4, 2026) for rehabilitation of taxiway, apron, and runway 18/36 shoulder improvements at its airport facility, while the City of San Marcos received funding (awarded December 11, 2025) for the construction of taxi lanes across the apron at various locations. These infrastructure improvements support the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits through sustained investment in the nation's public-use airport system.
