May 13, 2024 <br />Texas Department of Transportation Aviation Division <br />Attn: Dan Harmon, Director of Aviation <br />6230 E Stassney Ln <br />Austin, TX 78744 <br />RE: Letter of Interest — Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Funding <br />Dear Mr. Harmon, <br />The City of Paris is requesting the use of our Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Funding for <br />a much-needed new fuel farm. Our existing fuel farm has exceeded its life expectancy and in order to <br />continue to grow our airport, a new fuel farm must be established. <br />It is our understanding that Fiscal Years 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 IIJA funds will total $1,172,000 and <br />be available for this project. TXDOT recently quoted the Paris Airport $1.2 million for a new fuel farm and <br />informed us that this type of project is eligible to be a 90/10 split. The City is aware that a 10% match is <br />required and will be prepared to budget the required match amount. <br />We request that this project be considered for approval. If you have any questions, please contact Paul <br />Strahan, Airport Manager at pstrahan@paristexas.gov or 903-784-4648. We appreciate your attention to <br />our request. <br />Thank you, <br />Grayson Path <br />City Manager <br />EXHIBIT A <br />
