Acquire land for development

The grant, which extends through August 3, 2029, will support future eligible airport development projects that enhance the facility's infrastructure and operational capabilities.

This land acquisition initiative aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment. The project directly benefits Scottsboro Airport and the surrounding community by securing property necessary for future airport infrastructure improvements.
