Project Grant 34900331492026

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the City of Salt Lake Department of Airports a $3.95 million Project Grant under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) on April 7, 2026, to rehabilitate 10,000 square yards of existing paved Taxiway H1 at Salt Lake City International Airport. This rehabilitation project will maintain the structural integrity of the taxiway pavement and minimize foreign object debris to extend the facility's useful life. The project has an expected completion date of April 6, 2030.

This grant is administered through the FAA's Northwest Mountain Region as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which provides $14.5 billion over five years for critical airport infrastructure improvements at eligible public-use airports. The City of Salt Lake, as a municipal airport authority managing Salt Lake City International Airport, qualifies as an eligible recipient under the program's provisions for public agencies operating airports listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. The taxiway rehabilitation represents a standard eligible project category that supports the continued safe and efficient operation of airport infrastructure while maintaining compliance with federal transportation standards.
