Board of Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

Taylor County is seeking approval for a grant application to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the Taxiway Realignment Project at Perry Foley Airport. This project aims to bring the airport's taxiways up to current FAA standards and regulations. The total project cost is estimated at $1,404,261.61, with the county requesting $1,334,048.53 in FAA funding. The county is also seeking $56,170.46 in FDOT grant funding and will provide an additional $14,042.62. This project is currently under review for grant application approval. If approved, the project would involve site clearing and grading, potential underground utility work, and significant paving for taxiway realignments. Contractors specializing in heavy civil construction, site preparation, grading, paving, and underground utilities could find opportunities. Suppliers of construction materials and equipment would also be needed. Reaching out to the county or its representatives early, before final plans and bids are set, could provide a competitive advantage.
