Reconstruct terminal access road

Panama City Bay County Airport (doing business as Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport) received a Project Grant award of $335,903.33 from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106). The grant was awarded on July 23, 2025, with a completion date of July 22, 2029. This Phase 1 design project will support the reconstruction of 2,500 feet of the Terminal North Access Road at the Panama City airport facility, which has reached the end of its useful life.

The grant provides federal funding to develop comprehensive design plans and specifications necessary to rehabilitate the deteriorated terminal access infrastructure. Upon completion of this design phase, the project will establish the foundation for subsequent construction phases to restore safe and adequate airport access roads that meet current Federal Aviation Administration standards. This infrastructure investment aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of maintaining a nationwide system of public-use airports adequate to serve civil aeronautics needs while supporting long-term economic benefits to the regional community served by the airport.
