The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the City of Forks a Project Grant of $323,136.58 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 17, 2025, with a completion date of September 16, 2029. This Phase 1 design-phase project will support infrastructure improvements at Quillayute Airport in Forks, Washington. The grant funds planning and design activities for the reconstruction of one vehicle gate that has reached the end of its useful life, along with resealing and resurfacing work on airport pavement infrastructure.

Specifically, the project encompasses design services for the resealing of 15,555 square yards of existing main apron pavement and joints, resealing of 3,000 feet of parallel taxiway and taxiway connector pavement, and resealing of 4,200 feet of Runway 4/22 pavement and joints at this nonprimary airport. These pavement rehabilitation activities are intended to extend the service life of critical airport infrastructure. As a Phase 1 award, this grant provides federal funding to support the planning and design phase; subsequent construction phases would be subject to future funding awards.
