The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $3,002,206.32 through the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to the Georgia Department of Transportation Division of Intermodal on June 30, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of June 29, 2029. This Project Grant provides federal funding to support airport infrastructure improvements for nonprimary airports throughout Georgia via a state block grant program administered by GDOT. The grant funds specific airport improvement projects including perimeter fencing construction, apron reseal and resurfacing, terminal access road rehabilitation, taxiway rehabilitation, apron rehabilitation, and airfield drainage and erosion control reconstruction.

As the designated state administrator of the block grant program, GDOT will manage sub-awards to eligible nonprimary airports within Georgia, enabling multiple airport sponsors to access federal funding for critical infrastructure improvements that enhance safety, operational efficiency, and long-term system resilience. The four-year project period aligns with standard Airport Improvement Program timelines and supports the FAA's strategic objectives of maintaining a comprehensive nationwide airport system adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs.
