Update airport master plan

The South Jersey Transportation Authority received a $1,205,354.74 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration's Eastern Region under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on July 24, 2025, for the update of an existing airport master plan study. The project, scheduled for completion by July 23, 2029, will be conducted at Atlantic City International Airport facilities located in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. This master planning effort represents a critical planning activity within the FAA's broader Airport Improvement Program, which supports the development and modernization of airport infrastructure nationwide to meet civil aeronautics needs and support long-term economic benefits.

As a planning-phase project, this grant will deliver an updated comprehensive master plan document that establishes the strategic framework for future airport infrastructure development, expansion, and operational improvements at the Atlantic City airport complex. Master planning grants under the Airport Improvement Program provide essential planning services that inform subsequent capital improvement projects and ensure airports maintain current, detailed layout plans and development strategies. The updated master plan will serve as the foundational planning document for the airport authority's infrastructure investments over the extended project timeline through mid-2029.
