PASSEDHouston City Council · 2025-11-12

The City Council is being asked to approve an additional $250,000 from the Airports Improvement Fund to cover unexpected costs that arose during construction of restroom renovations at William P. Hobby Airport, where the original contract with FMG Construction Group, LLC was approved in 2023 for about $5.4 million. The extra funds are needed to complete the project after unforeseen conditions during construction used up the available contingency money.

What it means for you

Travelers using William P. Hobby Airport's East Concourse restrooms near Gates 20–32 are the primary people affected, as this funding is intended to allow the renovation work on those restrooms to be finished.
