availability of federal funds. Each year the City receives discretionary Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) funding for the runway extension. It is expected that up to $20,000,000.00 in discretionary funds to
be available this year.
This will be the sixteenth runway extension grant received, if awarded. Grants one through fifteen have
funded environmental assessments, land acquisitions, two earth work packages, utility relocations, and
design, construction of FM 156, design and construction of the new Burlington Northern Santa Fe Main
Line Railroad, and completion of the ALSF (Approach Lighting System with Sequence Flashing Lights)
building. The project is in its final phases and this grant will be used to fund construction costs associated
with the Runway Extension. The Alliance Runway Extension Project is scheduled to be complete early
2018 with a total projected cost of$265,265,127.85. The pending $20,000,000.00, FAA Discretionary
grant application will fully fund the remaining runway/taxiway construction associated with the Runway
Extension Project.
Existing land credits that remain from the original land donation for Alliance Airport will be used for the
City's ten percent in-kind match. If the grant is approved, the value of the remaining land credits will be
$12,135,341.44.
