Construct apron

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region awarded the Texas Department of Transportation $2,507,368.42 on June 22, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) to administer a state block grant program distributing federal funding to nonprimary airports within Texas for airport improvement projects, including apron construction.

The Texas Department of Transportation serves as the designated state transportation agency administering the block grant program and distributing funds to eligible sub-award recipients and nonprimary airports across Texas. The City of Arlington received a sub-award on August 31, 2026, to fund pavement improvement and apron expansion at an airport facility within the city.

Performance runs through June 21, 2030, with place of performance in Texas. The Airport Infrastructure Grants program, funded under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, provides up to $500 million nationally for nonprimary airports to invest in runways, taxiways, safety and sustainability projects, as well as terminal, airport transit connections, and roadway projects. 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.
