The U.S. DOT awards $100M to two Alabama transportation authorities to construct multi-modal transportation assets in Mobile
The Mobile Airport Authority and the Alabama State Port Authority jointly competed for the opportunity to use the U.S. Department of Transportation Demonstration Program Grant to facilitate capital infrastructure improvements at the Port of Mobile and at the Mobile Downtown Airport.
Shelby continued, “Our Gulf Coast and the entire state of Alabama stands to benefit immensely from this funding in ways we can only imagine. Mobile has a lot to offer, and I am thrilled that we are utilizing its existing infrastructure to create a new transportation hub and economic power source for the entire state.”
While providing convenient and low-cost air access for residents, the new terminal will also add critical commercial aircraft belly capacity for cargo and more efficient cargo processing with the Federal Inspection Services, according to the release. MAA expects to open the new terminal in 2024 with a LEED Certified goal.
The Port will also invest site development and civil infrastructure in preparation of the construction of distribution centers. These assets are located in the Mobile Harbor where a $367 million channel deepening and widening program is underway to provide ocean carriers at -50 ft. draft channel by late 2024 or early 2025.
