Update airport master plan; develop new pavement plan/conduct pavement study

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region awarded Texas Department of Transportation $456,761.05 on June 22, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) to administer a state block grant program distributing federal funds to nonprimary airports throughout Texas for runway extension, taxiway rehabilitation, pavement studies, and airport master plan updates.

The funding supports TxDOT's role as the designated state transportation agency administering the block grant program on behalf of eligible nonprimary airports across Texas. TxDOT passes funds through to sub-award recipients and airport authorities rather than performing direct service delivery. The period of performance runs through June 21, 2030. Work is performed statewide in Texas.

The Airport Infrastructure Grants program, established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, allocates up to $500 million nationally over five years for nonprimary airport improvements including runways, taxiways, safety and sustainability projects, and terminal and roadway work.
