Construct wildlife perimeter fencing

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southern Region awarded County Of Hernando $1,852,631.58 on July 17, 2026, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) to construct wildlife perimeter fencing at airports associated with Brooksville, Florida.

The project constructs 5,600 feet of wildlife fencing, 15,600 feet of wildlife skirting, and two gates to enhance safety. Work is performed in Spring Hill, Florida with a period of performance through July 16, 2030. The funding supports infrastructure investment at the Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport, a public-use facility included in the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems. County Of Hernando, a local government entity headquartered in Brooksville, receives this as a project grant—a direct federal award for a defined capital improvement rather than a formula or entitlement distribution. The recipient operates as a prime recipient on the majority of its federal awards and specializes in transportation infrastructure and airport modernization funding across multiple federal agencies, with the FAA Southern Region among its leading grantors.
