Reconstruct airfield drainage/erosion control

The City of Corinth received a $1.63 million Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 10, 2025, to reconstruct 2,154 linear feet of deteriorated drainage culvert infrastructure at Corinth Municipal Airport. This award funds the final construction phase of the drainage and erosion control project, addressing critical airfield infrastructure that has reached the end of its functional life. The project is expected to be completed by September 9, 2029, and is coordinated with an additional Airport Improvement Program grant that provides supplemental funding for other eligible project costs.

The drainage culvert reconstruction constitutes essential airfield infrastructure maintenance that supports safe and efficient airport operations while managing stormwater and erosion control. This project aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of operational excellence and long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment, ensuring the continued viability of the Corinth municipal airport system.
