Reseal/resurface taxiway; reseal/resurface apron

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Marion County Commission a $290,000 project grant under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on July 3, 2025, to improve airport infrastructure in Hamilton, Alabama. The grant funds the resealing and resurfacing of taxiway and apron pavements at a nonprimary airport, including the resealing of 14,200 square yards of existing main general aviation apron pavement and joints, and the resealing of 2,600 feet of existing partial parallel taxiway pavement and joints. These infrastructure improvements are designed to extend the useful life of critical airport facilities and enhance operational safety and efficiency.

The four-year project, with an ultimate completion date of July 2, 2029, represents the FAA's continued investment in maintaining the nation's airport system infrastructure. As a county-level government entity, Marion County Commission has demonstrated significant experience managing Airport Improvement Program grants, with a track record of successfully delivering airport infrastructure projects including runway resealing, taxiway and apron resurfacing, and other safety enhancements at the Hamilton-area airport.
