Reconstruct service road

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region awarded the Texas Department of Transportation $1.515 million 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 runway, taxiway, and related airport infrastructure improvements.

TxDOT serves as the designated state transportation agency administering the block grant program and passes federal funds through to eligible sub-award recipients and nonprimary airports across Texas. The grant supports service road reconstruction and other airport improvement activities at nonprimary airports listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems.

The period of performance runs from June 22, 2026, through June 21, 2030. Work is performed throughout Texas. As a state transportation agency, TxDOT does not directly execute airport construction or improvements but channels federal dollars to airport authorities and local agencies implementing projects on the ground. Recipients must maintain airport layout plans throughout the grant agreement period and retain accounting records for three years after final expenditure submission, submitting periodic reports on projects bid, contracts awarded, work begun, and work completed under the grant.
