Representative Dale W. Strong helped secure a new Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant for $7 million that will go towards terminal improvements at Huntsville International Airport.

The grant funds were awarded from the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Airport Terminal Program. The grant will fund eligible portions of renovations at the airport such as the expansion of the concourse for new ADA compliant restrooms, a new nursing room, terminal escalators, and expansion of the terminal public area near the ticket counters.

“The FAA’s continued investment in Huntsville International will greatly improve travelers’ experience as they come and go from North Alabama’s airport. It is crucial that the airport continue supporting economic development efforts and serve as a reliable transportation hub for those in North Alabama and Southern Tennessee. As your Representative, I am always proud to see our hard-earned tax dollars returned home,” said Representative Dale Strong.

Huntsville International Airport was recently recognized as the No. 2 Best Small Airport in the U.S. Huntsville is the fastest-growing metro area in Alabama and is the state’s largest city.

This announcement follows a $4.1 million dollar grant award that Representative Strong secured for Huntsville International in November.
