FINANCIAL PROGRAM /
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
The analyses completed in the preceding chapter outlines airside and landside development needs to
meet projected avia on demand based on forecast ac vity, facility requirements, safety standards, and
opera onal efficiency. Now that the recommended concept has been developed and specific needs and
improvements for the Airport have been established, the next step is to determine a realis c schedule
for project implementa on as well as the associated costs for the plan. This chapter will provide a
descrip on and overall cost of each project iden fied in the capital improvement program (CIP) and
development schedule. The program outlined has been evaluated from a variety of perspec ves and
represents a compara ve analysis of basic budget factors, demand, and priority assignments.
The CIP is developed following Federal Avia on Administra on (FAA) and Texas Department of
Transporta on – Avia on Division (TxDOT) guidelines for airport planning and primarily iden fies those
projects that are likely eligible for FAA and/or TxDOT funding assistance. Other avia on projects that are
not programmed to receive federal and/or state funding par cipa on are also presented.
The capital improvements and financial program have been organized into three sec ons. First, the
airport development schedule and project cost es mates are presented in narra ve and graphic form.
Second, capital improvement funding sources on the federal, state, and local levels are iden fied and
discussed. Finally, an evalua on of the facili es and services available at Arlington Municipal Airport is
made and strategies to further enhance the economic vitality of the Airport are offered.
