Project Grant 348SBGP2642026

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a Project Grant of $188,157.89 to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on June 22, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117). This grant supports the construction and expansion of a hangar facility and enables TxDOT to administer a state block grant program that distributes federal funding for airport improvement projects at nonprimary airports throughout Texas. The four-year performance period extends through June 21, 2030, with funding allocated for infrastructure enhancements that benefit eligible public-use airports listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems.

As the designated state transportation agency, TxDOT serves as the administrative intermediary distributing these federal funds to nonprimary airports within the state block grant program. The grant facilitates critical airport infrastructure improvements, including hangar construction and expansion activities designed to enhance airport operational capacity and generate airport revenue. Consistent with FAA Airport Infrastructure Grants program requirements, the project must comply with environmental impact assessments, maintain updated airport layout plans throughout the 20-year grant agreement period, and submit periodic progress reports documenting project bidding, contract awards, work commencement, and completion milestones.
