This Project will consist of designing and constructing up to three additional taxilanes on the northeast side of the Airport, connecting to Taxiway
Mike (see attached map). This Project is located directly east of Phase I, which is currently in construction and expected to be completed in Spring
of 2024.
This Project will allow for future development of the Airport, and help alleviate the current issue of limited hangar space. These taxilanes will be
designed to support a mixture of both T-Hangars and Box Hangars, allowing for a variety of different aircraft to be housed at the Airport.
This Project will be funded by a 90/10 cost split with TxDOT, with design occurring in 2024 and construction expected to occur in 2025. Two
separate grant agreements will be awarded for both the design and construction.
