Rehabilitate apron; construct taxilane

The City of Abbeville, Alabama received a Project Grant award of $456,265.26 from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Southern Region under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on July 16, 2025. The grant funds two primary infrastructure projects at Abbeville Municipal Airport: the construction of two new 280-foot taxilanes to provide airfield access to a non-exclusive T-hangar development area and bring the airport into conformity with current Federal Aviation Administration standards, and the rehabilitation of 2,700 square yards of existing apron pavement to maintain structural integrity and minimize foreign object debris accumulation.

The project is scheduled for completion by July 15, 2029. These infrastructure improvements will enhance airport operational safety and efficiency while supporting the development of hangar facilities. The grant represents part of the City of Abbeville's broader commitment to airport modernization, as demonstrated by over $2.8 million in Airport Improvement Program funding received between 2021 and 2025 for comprehensive airport expansion and infrastructure enhancements.
