27 Airports Across Alabama Receives Funding for Upgrades

The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) has awarded more than $2 million in state grants to support improvement projects at 27 local airports.

The grants are part of ALDOT’s Alabama Airport Improvement Funding Program. The program provides financial assistance and technical support to public-use airports across the state. Eligible projects may include land acquisition, runway upgrades, facility repairs, maintenance and operational improvements.

“Local airports are critical to connecting our communities and supporting Alabama’s economy,” said Frank Farmer, Bureau Chief of ALDOT’s Aeronautics Bureau. “This funding helps strengthen infrastructure, improve safety and support essential air services in all parts of the state.”

These grants reflect ALDOT’s continued investment in the state’s air transportation system, which supports emergency response, commerce, tourism and more.

The Alabama Airport Improvement Funding Program was established to assist airports with the planning, construction and maintenance of aviation facilities. ALDOT may also provide engineering and technical support as needed for approved projects.
