The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the City of Olive Branch, Mississippi a $3.27 million Project Grant on September 4, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to rehabilitate and reconstruct apron pavement at Olive Branch Municipal Airport. The project encompasses the reconstruction of 14,000 square yards of existing T-hangar apron pavement that has reached the end of its useful life and the rehabilitation of 19,700 square yards of existing south apron pavement to maintain structural integrity and minimize foreign object debris. The project is expected to be completed by September 3, 2029.

This grant represents a strategic investment in airport infrastructure modernization and safety enhancement in support of the FAA's operational excellence and safety objectives. The Airport Improvement Program provides federal funding to public-use airports for development and maintenance of airport infrastructure as part of a comprehensive nationwide system designed to meet civil aeronautics needs. By addressing critical pavement deterioration, this project will improve operational safety and efficiency at the municipal airport facility serving the Olive Branch region.
