About the company
Hancock County Port & Harbor Commission, doing business as Port Bienville Railroad Co, operates as a recipient of federal infrastructure grants issued by the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), functioning as a U.S. local government entity and county port authority headquartered in Kiln, Mississippi. The commission is a child entity of County of Hancock and does not hold federal contracts; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant awards across aviation and rail infrastructure development.
The commission's grant portfolio centers on two capability domains. In aviation, it receives FAA Airport Improvement Program funding (CFDA 20.106) to develop and rehabilitate facilities at Bay St. Louis Airport, including apron expansion and reconstruction, taxiway and runway rehabilitation and relocation, runway lighting and guidance system installation, contract tower equipment replacement, and land acquisition for future aeronautical use. Representative FAA awards include a $3.33 million grant (awarded December 2022, completion December 2026) for north apron expansion of 15,530 square yards at Bay St. Louis; a $414,700 grant (awarded May 2025) covering Phase 1 design of taxiway rehabilitation and relocation work; a $217,889 grant (awarded May 2026) for Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting apron reconstruction and rehabilitation; and multiple land acquisition grants ranging from $177,822 to $474,400. In rail, the commission received a $7.32 million grant from the Federal Railroad Administration under the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) program (CFDA 20.325) awarded June 2025 for construction of an eight-track classification yard and 3,500-linear-foot intermodal switch lead at Port Bienville Industrial Park in Hancock County, with completion targeted August 2028. The commission also received a rail storage yard grant from the Maritime Administration (awarded August 2023, ultimate completion January 2029) to construct additional storage tracks and a rail siding increasing storage capacity by approximately 25 percent.
Across thirty-three total awards spanning from 2006 through May 2026, the FAA Southern Region dominates the customer concentration — nineteen awards — with the FAA as a whole accounting for twenty-eight awards. Activity has remained modest and variable, with one award in 2024 and four awards in 2025. Combined obligated dollars total $42.6 million. The commission acts as prime recipient on 97 percent of awards (thirty-two) and as sub-recipient on one grant sub-award (a rail yard construction project under Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, awarded March 2025). Most aviation awards carry completion dates between 2026 and 2030, with the major rail infrastructure grant completing August 2028.
