Rehabilitate runway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Greenwood Leflore Airport a $5.1 million Project Grant on September 16, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to rehabilitate 6,501 feet of Runway 18/36. This award funds the final construction phase of the runway rehabilitation project, which is designed to maintain structural pavement integrity and minimize foreign object debris at the airport facility in Greenwood, Mississippi. The project is scheduled for completion by September 15, 2029, and represents a portion of the total eligible project scope, with an associated Airport Infrastructure Grant funding the remaining eligible costs.

The Airport Improvement Program, administered by the FAA's Office of Airports, supports the development and modernization of public-use airport infrastructure nationwide to ensure safe and efficient civil aeronautics operations. This particular grant deliverable—runway reconstruction and rehabilitation—aligns with the program's core objectives of maintaining the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems and supporting long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment. The Greenwood Leflore Airport, a local government entity serving Carroll County, Mississippi, will be responsible for executing the construction work and maintaining compliance with FAA reporting, accounting, and documentation requirements throughout the project period.
