Designated for nonprimary airports in the state block grant program

This $1.7 million Project Grant from the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration will fund airport improvement projects at nonprimary airports across Georgia through September 2026. Awarded under the Airport Improvement Program, COVID-19 Airports Programs, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs (CFDA 20.106), the grant provides the full federal share to the Georgia Department of Transportation to administer sub-awards. Two sub-awards were described, with one providing $250,000 to Burke County for land acquisition and perimeter fencing at the Burke County Airport in Waynesboro. The second sub-award will fund engineering design services for taxiway crack sealing, surface treatment, and remarking at the C.Y. Nunnally Memorial Airport in Monroe. The grant aims to improve safety, infrastructure, and operations at general aviation airports across Georgia through these airport capital improvement projects.
