Approximately $3.4 million for Granbury Regional Airport was approved by the Texas Transportation Commission at its June meeting.
- The funds will be used for planned airport improvements, which includes pavement improvements.
- A project bid will be executed this summer.
- Project costs will be funded through the City of Granbury and TxDOT’s Aviation Facilities Grant Program, which preserves and improved the state’s general aviation system.
This year, TxDOT expects to provide approximately $60 million in funding for planning, constructing, and maintaining community airports, with approximately 275 community airports in Texas eligible for funding.
Arrivals and departures from community airports account for more than 3 million flight hours per week and provide aircraft facilities for agricultural, medical, business and commuter use.
The Texas Department of Transportation is responsible for maintaining 80,000 miles of road and for supporting aviation, maritime, rail and public transportation across the state.
