Update airport master plan

The Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region awarded the Texas Department of Transportation $350,000 on May 15, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) to administer a state block grant program distributing federal funds to nonprimary airports within Texas for airport improvement activities.

TxDOT serves as the designated state transportation agency administering the block grant program and distributing federal funds to eligible sub-award recipients and nonprimary airports across Texas. The grant funds may be invested in runways, taxiways, safety and sustainability projects, as well as terminal, airport transit connections, and roadway projects. The period of performance runs through May 14, 2030. Place of performance is Texas.

The Airport Infrastructure Grants program, established as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, provides up to $500 million nationally for nonprimary airports over five years starting in fiscal year 2022. Grant recipients must maintain an airport layout plan for the duration of the grant agreement, ordinarily 20 years, and retain accounting records for three years after final expenditure report submission. Recipients submit periodic reports documenting the number of projects bid, contracts awarded, work begun, and work completed, along with associated federal funding amounts for each category.
