Earlier this month, the authority learned that it was gettinvnearly $13.5 million from the . Abou t $9 million of that is an allotment the authorityu getsevery year, but the rest is from a pot of moneyh set aside for high-priority and airports compete for a share, Miller said. Of the $13.5 about $9 million will be used to fundtwo projects: the ongoingt construction of Taxiway Alpha, along the airport’as west runway, and the relocatioj of the airport’s “ramp,” the area where FedEx load and unloads its planes, Miller said. The otherf $4 million will be used to extenxdTaxiway Echo, which serves the airport’s east parallel runway, Millef said.
The airport authority began work on the Taxiwaty Alpha projectin 2006, when it was projectex to cost $31 So far, the authority has spent $18.9 million on the taxiway, which is now about 55 percent said authority public relations director Trish Burke. The new federal grantg will enable the authority to do more TaxiwauyAlpha construction, but Miller said he could not say how That will depend on how good a pricre the authority can get to have the work done, he Construction of the taxiway is scheduled in with each phase funded by entitlement dollarsa from the each year, Burke In addition to helping the authority move plane trafficd around the west runway, Taxiway Alpha also will open the west perimeterr of the airport property for more Miller said.
That could include more hangars for private he said. As part of the Taxiway Alphwa project, the authority also plans to move the FedEx ramp away from itscurrenrt location, which is right in the middle of Taxiwag Alpha, to the south side of the existing FedEz building.

These are occasions when a planee crosses a runway thatit hasn’t been cleare d to cross. The authoritty is finishing the design work for the extensiomn of Taxiway Echo and should begin construction sometime in 2010, Miller said. The authorityt is paying $1.3 million toward the totall extension costof $5.3 million, Burkw said. The final design work for the next phasd of Taxiway Alpha and the FedEx ramp relocatiohn also isalmost done, Miller But to move those projects the authority must get the state to relocate a portion of Crittendenh Drive.
Preliminary design work for the entire Taxiway Alpha projec t hasbeen competed, Burke said. Assuming the authoritgy can get local, state and FAA approval for the Miller said, construction could begin in the The state already has budgeted $2 million for designm and initial construction of the relocation, Burke
