The City of Forks received a $115,789.47 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 17, 2025, for airport infrastructure improvements at Quillayute Airport in Forks, Washington. This award funds Phase 1 design activities for a comprehensive pavement and facility reconstruction project scheduled for completion by September 16, 2029. The project scope includes resurfacing approximately 4,200 linear feet of Runway 4/22 pavement and joints, resealing 3,000 feet of parallel taxiway at Runway 22, resealing 15,555 square yards of main apron pavement, and reconstructing one existing vehicle gate that has reached the end of its useful life.

This grant represents a portion of the total project funding, with an associated Airport Improvement Program grant providing the remaining eligible construction costs. The design phase funding will support the development of engineering plans and specifications necessary to advance the airport's infrastructure modernization while extending the useful life of critical airfield pavement systems at this nonprimary airport facility.
