County approves FAA AIP grant to design airport apron reconstruction, $628,472 federal share
Summary
Albany County approved an FAA Airport Improvement Program grant agreement for phase‑one design of an apron reconstruction project; the FAA will fund $628,472 with local and state matches, and project construction is planned for 2027.
The Albany County Board of County Commissioners approved a Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant agreement covering phase‑one design of an apron reconstruction at the county airport. County staff said the FAA AIP will cover $628,472 of design costs; the county's local match is $16,583.75 and an equivalent state match is expected.
Staff described the project as part of a larger $15 million reconstruction planned for summer 2027. They said the design phase will go to bid in January with a goal of completing construction before the charter season begins in summer 2027, and no later than October 2027 in a worst‑case scenario.
Commissioners moved and approved the grant agreement after brief discussion about timeline and bidding. The motion carried by voice vote.
