Reconstruct taxiway lighting; reconstruct taxiway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Spokane International Airport a $22.2 million Project Grant on September 12, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to reconstruct taxiway infrastructure at the airport. Phase 2 of this project encompasses the construction and reconstruction of 3,000 feet of Taxiway A pavement, along with associated lighting systems that have reached the end of their useful life. The overall project addresses 4,600 feet of existing taxiway pavement requiring reconstruction to restore safe and functional airport operations. The grant period extends through September 11, 2029, allowing sufficient time for design, construction, and project closeout activities.

This investment supports critical transportation infrastructure modernization at Spokane International Airport, a regional aviation hub serving the Spokane, Washington metropolitan area with both commercial passenger and cargo operations. The reconstruction of Taxiway A enhances airport safety and operational efficiency while supporting the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence. As a civilian public-use airport included in the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems, Spokane International Airport demonstrates the FAA's commitment to maintaining an adequate nationwide airport system to meet civil aeronautics needs and support long-term economic development in the region.
