Construct/expand fuel farm

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region awarded the Texas Department of Transportation $148,000 on August 14, 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 fuel farm construction and expansion activities.

The Texas Department of Transportation serves as the designated state transportation agency administering the block grant program and distributing these federal funds to eligible sub-award recipients and nonprimary airports across Texas. The award carries a period of performance through August 13, 2030, with place of performance in Texas. The Airport Infrastructure Grants program, funded as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, provides $14.5 billion over five years for runways, taxiways, safety and sustainability projects, terminal improvements, airport transit connections, and roadway projects at primary and nonprimary airports.

Recipients must maintain airport layout plans for the duration of the grant agreement, ordinarily twenty years, and retain accounting records and project documentation for three years following submission of the final expenditure report. Grant recipients submit periodic reports detailing the number and funding of projects bid, awarded, under construction, and completed.
