The $2.6 million airport taxiway and access road project, currently underway, was awarded to Wiregrass Construction. The Airport Authority received $1.3 million in grant funding from the Federal Aviation Administration , $73,086 in grant funding from ALDOT Aeronautics, and a $1.2 million bank bond to match the grants from the Authority.
