Shelby County seeks FAA and state funding for Mass Hangar T and taxiway signage at county airport
Summary
The commission authorized applications to the FAA and Alabama DOT for design and construction of a 147' x 80' Mass Hangar T and for airfield sign removal/replacement and taxiway hold line markings, and affirmed a local matching share has been placed into the airport budget (amount not specified).
The Shelby County Commission on June 8 authorized applications to the Federal Aviation Administration and the Alabama Department of Transportation to fund improvements at Shelby County Airport.
Resolution 2026-06-08-08 authorizes the county to seek FAA and ALDOT airport improvement funding for design and construction of Mass Hangar T, described in the minutes as a 147-foot by 80-foot clear-span hangar located along the midfield apron. The resolution authorizes the county manager to sign the application and any related documents and to enter into a funding agreement with the FAA and the Alabama Department of Transportation; the agreement is to be attested by the administrative assistant and sealed by the commission.
A separate but related resolution (2026-06-08-09) authorizes application for funding to remove and replace airfield signage and to install new taxiway hold line markings. Both resolutions state that partial funding would be provided by the FAA and the State of Alabama and affirm that the local matching share required for the agreements "has been officially approved, placed into the budget of the airport and is available for expenditure upon execution"; the minutes do not specify the dollar amount of the local match.
Both airport-related resolutions passed unanimously. The resolutions note the commission's attorney reviewed authority to enter into the agreements. The county manager is authorized to execute any resulting funding agreements if awarded.
