Ada/Saipan International Airport.\n\nRunway Rehabilitation: A $9.7 million grant from the FAA\u2019s Airport Improvement Program will fund the rehabilitation of 8,700 feet of Runway 07/25. This work will help maintain the runway\u2019s structural integrity, reduce debris, and extend its service life. Combined with previously awarded funds, this grant will complete the remaining portion of the runway project.\n\nPerimeter Fencing Replacement: A second FAA grant of $7,048,780 will replace 26,788 linear feet of perimeter fencing that has reached the end of its useful life. This upgrade is essential for maintaining airport safety and security.\n\nThese federal investments strengthen Saipan\u2019s transportation infrastructure, support economic growth, and help keep travelers and airport personnel safe.
