Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Anniston received a $576,748.42 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117), awarded on July 6, 2026, with a completion date of July 5, 2030. This grant funds a portion of the final construction phase to reconstruct approximately 2,100 feet of existing airfield drainage pipe at Anniston Airport that has reached the end of its useful life. The project addresses critical erosion control and drainage infrastructure needs to prevent flooding and enhance airport operational safety. This grant is coordinated with an accompanying Airport Improvement Program grant that funds the remaining eligible portion of the final phase.

The City of Anniston, as the awardee and project sponsor, is responsible for executing the drainage reconstruction work at the Anniston, Alabama airport facility. The grant represents federal cost-share funding within the broader Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act allocation supporting airport safety and sustainability projects at facilities listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. Grant recipients are required to maintain detailed accounting records, submit periodic progress reports documenting project milestones, and complete the work within the four-year maximum performance period specified by the FAA program.
