Mobile International Airport (BFM) has been awarded $7,510,599 through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) program for the ongoing development of its new terminal at the Brookley Aeroplex. The airport is in the process of shifting its commercial passenger flights from the Mobile Regional Airport to the Mobile Downtown Airport, where it is building a new terminal as part of its Master Plan 2020 program.
“This funding is a significant boost for the Mobile International Airport project,” said Mobile Airport Authority board chairman Elliot Maisel. ”It’s an important step in ensuring that our airport continues to grow and serve Mobile and Baldwin Counties effectively. We’re grateful for the support and eager to continue our work on this vital infrastructure.”
“This grant reinforces our commitment to building a state-of-the-art terminal at Mobile International Airport,” added Mobile Airport Authority president Chris Curry. ”The new terminal is key to accommodating future growth and driving economic development in the region. We’re excited about our partnership with FAA as we continue to work towards the completion of our transformative project.”
