Reconstruct perimeter security fencing

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southern Region awarded Pitt-Greenville Airport Authority $583,631.58 on May 27, 2026, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) to reconstruct the final phase of perimeter security fencing required by 49 CFR 1542.

The grant funds reconstruction of 4,835 linear feet of perimeter security fence, completing the final phase of a multi-phase project to rebuild 15,000 feet of fencing that has reached the end of its useful life. Work is performed at Pitt-Greenville Airport in Greenville, North Carolina, with an ultimate completion date of May 26, 2030.

This is the third FAA award to Pitt-Greenville Airport Authority for perimeter security fencing under the current multi-phase reconstruction initiative.
