Project Grant 348SBGP2392026

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) a Project Grant totaling $174,869.47 under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) on June 22, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of June 21, 2030. This grant funds a state block grant program enabling TxDOT to administer and distribute Airport Improvement Program sub-awards to nonprimary airports throughout Texas. The specific infrastructure improvements supported under this award include taxiway reconstruction, taxiway rehabilitation, and apron reconstruction at eligible airports within the state.

As the designated state transportation agency administering this block grant, TxDOT will serve as the pass-through entity distributing federal funding to nonprimary airports qualifying under the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. The Airport Infrastructure Grants program, established through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, allocates dedicated federal resources to support critical airport infrastructure modernization, with nonprimary airports eligible to receive up to $500 million collectively over the five-year funding period. Grant recipients are required to maintain compliance with environmental assessment protocols, submit periodic progress reports documenting project bidding and contract awards, and retain accounting records for three years following final expenditure reporting.
