City Of Atmore City Hall

City Of Atmore City Hall, a U.S. local government municipality based in Atmore, Alabama, is a federal grant recipient that receives project funding for airport infrastructure development and community resilience work, operating exclusively as a prime recipient rather than a contractor.

The City's federal footprint centers on airport hangar construction and flood prevention, funded through the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Agriculture. Since 2023, Atmore has received nine project grants from the FAA Southern Region under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) totaling over $2.6 million in combined value for phased construction of a 14,000 square-foot T-hangar facility for aircraft storage, maintenance, and service. Representative awards include a $645,931.11 grant on June 21, 2023, funding 69% of Phase 1 site preparation; a $283,333.33 grant on June 22, 2023, funding 31% of Phase 1; a $160,000 grant on August 28, 2024, for Phase 2 T-hangar construction; and a $166,666.67 grant on August 28, 2024, for additional Phase 2 work. Two additional FAA awards dated August 18 and August 27, 2025, fund portions of Phase 3 construction ($157,894.74 and $144,210.52 respectively), and a final reimbursement award of $103,270.53 dated July 8, 2026, completes the project. These grants are authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act's expanded eligibility provisions and aim to increase airport revenue and self-sustainability. In addition, the City received a $645,931.11 cooperative agreement from the Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service on September 26, 2023, for planning, design, and construction of flood prevention works (ultimate completion April 30, 2026). The City also holds a HUD Economic Development Initiative Community Project Funding grant dated August 13, 2024, for unspecified economic or community development activities (ultimate completion August 31, 2032), and received COVID-19 pandemic relief from the FAA on November 30, 2021, for airport operations and sanitization costs.

The FAA Southern Region dominates the City's customer concentration, accounting for 13 of 22 awards listed under top customers (59% by count). The City has worked with eight distinct federal agencies across 39 total awards (29 prime, 10 sub) obligating $34.2 million combined. Activity peaked in 2023 with four awards and has since slowed to one award in 2026. The City also appears as a sub-recipient on three grant sub-awards from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs and HUD Community Development Block Grant programs, receiving drainage improvements and other community infrastructure support. No federal contracts or contract IDVs appear in the source; the City's entire federal footprint is grant-based.
