Install apron lighting; reseal/resurface runway

On July 25, 2025, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Southern Region awarded Marshall County, Mississippi a $144,210.53 Project Grant under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to fund airport infrastructure improvements at the Holly Springs Airport. The project, with an ultimate completion date of July 24, 2029, encompasses two primary deliverables: installation of new apron lighting to bring the airport into compliance with current FAA standards, and resealing and resurfacing of 3,202 linear feet of Runway 18/36 pavement. These improvements are designed to extend the useful life of the runway and enhance operational safety and efficiency at this non-primary airport facility.

This grant represents a partial funding allocation for the overall airport improvement project, with complementary funding provided through an associated Airport Improvement Program grant that covers the remaining eligible project costs.
