Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a Project Grant of $749,900 to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on May 15, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117). This grant funds the construction and realignment of taxiways at nonprimary airports within Texas. The award represents federal investment in critical airport infrastructure improvements, with a project completion deadline of May 14, 2030. TxDOT serves as the administering entity for a state block grant program that distributes Airport Improvement Program sub-awards to eligible nonprimary airports throughout the state.

The primary products and services delivered through this grant include taxiway construction and realignment work designed to enhance operational capacity and safety at Texas nonprimary airports. As a state block grant program administrator, TxDOT manages the allocation and oversight of federal funds to individual airport projects, ensuring compliance with federal requirements including environmental assessments, airport layout plan maintenance, and periodic progress reporting on project bidding, contract awards, work commencement, and completion status. The four-year performance period aligns with standard FAA infrastructure grant timelines, allowing for comprehensive project planning, environmental review, and construction execution across multiple airport facilities within the state.
