Federal Grant Award Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $218,500 to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) on June 22, 2026, with a completion date of June 21, 2030. This Project Grant funds a state block grant program administered by TxDOT to support airport improvement sub-awards for nonprimary airports throughout Texas. The grant specifically supports taxiway extension and expansion projects that enhance infrastructure capacity and operational capabilities at eligible public-use airports listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems.

As the administering entity, TxDOT will distribute and oversee federal funding to nonprimary airport recipients within Texas, ensuring compliance with environmental assessments, project reporting requirements, and the FAA's grant agreement provisions. Grant recipients must maintain updated airport layout plans and submit periodic progress reports documenting project bidding, contract awards, work commencement, and completion status. Projects are expected to be completed within the four-year performance period, though most airports typically complete improvements within two to three years of grant award execution.
