Expand apron

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the City of Brewton, Alabama a Project Grant of $631,578.95 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on July 30, 2025, to expand the existing airport apron by 1,150 square yards. This expansion will bring the airport into conformity with current FAA standards for civilian public-use airports. The project is scheduled for completion by July 29, 2029, and represents a portion of the total apron expansion project costs, with an associated Airport Infrastructure Grant funding the remaining eligible expenses.

The apron expansion constitutes critical airfield infrastructure improvement that will enhance the airport's operational capacity and safety compliance. Apron pavement work of this nature falls within the FAA's strategic priorities for airport modernization and the development of a nationwide system of public-use airports adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs. The grant recipient, the City of Brewton, is a DOT-certified disadvantaged business enterprise with demonstrated experience managing FAA airport infrastructure grants, having previously received additional Airport Improvement Program funding for similar apron expansion initiatives.
