FAA has programmed Discretionary Funds to help the Airport repair badly deteriorated pavements
and lighting equipment. The amount of the grant is anticipated to be up to $4,627,500. The Grant
Agreement is on file with the City Clerk's office.
The projects to be completed this summer within the available funds include:
• Complete phase one reconstruction of the air carrier ramp area used by commercial
service aircraft and other large charter aircraft.
• Reconstruct the main taxiway(Alpha) and widen taxiway connectors.
