This award qualifies for expanded eligibility under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and is targeted for completion by May 11, 2029.

The design phase funded through this grant award will establish the technical specifications and engineering requirements necessary to support the subsequent construction and installation of the new fuel tank infrastructure at the airport in Oroville, Washington. Upon completion of the design phase, the City of Oroville will have the documentation and planning framework required to advance to construction phases, subject to separate funding appropriations. The Airport Improvement Program supports development and modernization of airport infrastructure across the United States to strengthen civil aeronautics systems and enhance airport operational efficiency.
