Construct service road; reconstruct perimeter security fencing; construct airport drainage/erosion control; construct taxilane

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southern Region awarded $4,077,043.16 to Pitt-Greenville Airport Authority on August 25, 2026, for airport infrastructure improvements under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117).

The award funds Phase 3 construction of perimeter security fencing reconstruction, specifically 750 feet of the 15,585 feet required to meet 49 CFR 1542 security standards. The project also constructs a new 1,100-foot paved service road for designated personnel and vehicles, provides alternate airfield access via a 1,150-foot north apron taxilane to a non-exclusive hangar development and aircraft tie-down area, and establishes new drainage and detention areas to manage runoff. All work brings Pitt-Greenville Airport into conformity with current operational standards.

Performance occurs in Greenville, North Carolina, with a completion date of August 24, 2030. Pitt-Greenville Airport Authority, a local government airport authority, is the recipient. The Airport Infrastructure Grants program provides funding for runways, taxiways, safety and sustainability projects, terminal work, airport transit connections, and roadway projects as authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, with up to $500 million available for nonprimary airports over five years starting in FY 2022.
