Install runway visual guidance system; reseal/resurface apron

The City of Russellville, Alabama received a $244,000 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), which also encompasses Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs and COVID-19 Airports Programs. The award was made on July 9, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of July 8, 2029. The project focuses on installing a runway visual guidance system and conducting reseal and resurfacing work on the main apron at Russellville Airport, a nonprimary public-use airport.

Specifically, the grant funds the resealing and resurfacing of approximately 10,000 square yards of existing apron pavement to extend the useful life of the airport's critical infrastructure. These infrastructure improvements align with the FAA's strategic objectives of enhancing airport safety and operational efficiency while maintaining the nationwide system of public-use airports to support civil aeronautics. The project represents a typical AIP investment in airport maintenance and modernization, supporting long-term economic benefits for the Russellville community and the flying public.
