About the company
The Airport Authority of CIT, a U.S. local government airport authority based in Gulf Shores, Alabama, is a prime recipient of federal airport infrastructure and modernization grants from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), competing without set-aside restrictions and operating exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor or subcontractor.
The Airport Authority operates as a municipal airport authority managing Gulf Shores Airport in Alabama and receives grants across three FAA grant programs: the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), the Airport Terminal Program (CFDA 20.118), and the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117), along with a single Small Community Air Service Development Grant (CFDA 20.930) from the Department of Transportation's Office of the Secretary. Customer concentration is singular — the FAA Southern Region alone accounts for 21 of 28 awards, with the FAA's national office issuing six additional awards and the Secretary of Transportation's office issuing one — representing 100% of the award footprint. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $28.7 million.
Recent work centers on a multiphase terminal construction and expansion program funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Representative awards include a $5.263 million Airport Improvement Program grant (August 2024) for Phase 2 terminal construction, a $2.105 million Airport Terminal Program grant (August 2026) for 17,763 square feet of terminal expansion to reduce passenger delays, and a $341,894.74 Airport Infrastructure Grants award (August 2026) for passenger boarding ramps as the final terminal phase. The Authority also received a $1.179 million grant (August 2023) for an Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Vehicle, a $500,000 Small Community Air Service Development Grant (September 2022) to market new commercial air service, and smaller awards for taxiway extension design, service road design, taxiway lighting reconstruction, runway signage, wildlife fencing, and pavement rehabilitation. Award activity shows modest volume — two to four grants per year over the past five years — with three awards in 2025 and three in 2026. Most grants carry ultimate completion dates in the 2027–2030 window, reflecting four-year performance periods typical of airport infrastructure projects funded through federal pandemic-recovery and infrastructure legislation.
