This grant funds critical pavement maintenance and rehabilitation work at Tangier Island Airport to extend the useful life of existing infrastructure. The project encompasses resealing 13,500 square yards of apron pavement, 150 feet of Taxiway A pavement, and 2,426 feet of Runway 2/20 pavement at this non-primary airport facility.
