Construct taxilane

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the City of Deer Park, Washington a Project Grant totaling $632,911.39 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on July 29, 2025. The grant funds construction of four new taxilanes at Deer Park Airport: taxilane AS-1 (347 feet), taxilane AS-2 (475 feet), taxilane AS-3 (369 feet), and taxilane AS-4 (312 feet).
