Reconstruct taxilane

The City of Delta received a $423,228.42 Project Grant award from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 5, 2025, to reconstruct 1,200 feet of deteriorated taxilane pavement at Delta Municipal Airport. The project addresses infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful life and will be completed by September 4, 2029. This grant provides federal funding to support the airport's operational capacity and safety standards through the comprehensive rehabilitation of ground service infrastructure.

The Airport Improvement Program, which encompasses traditional AIP (Airport Improvement Program) funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and COVID-19 relief provisions, supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence. The reconstruction project represents a typical mid-range airport infrastructure investment within the program, which funds various airport development and maintenance activities including taxiway and taxilane improvements, apron rehabilitation, and safety enhancements. The City of Delta, as a local government entity with established experience managing federal airport infrastructure grants, will execute this project to enhance transportation facility reliability and support civil aeronautical operations in the region.
