Georgia awards $26 Million for transportation and airport projects
Gov. Brian Kemp and the State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA) announced Tuesday $26 million in funding for Georgia Transportation Infrastructure Bank (GTIB) grants and low-interest loans.
The funding will support 20 transportation roadway projects and two regional airport hangar projects.
“These awards are on top of the historic funding we’ve put toward local transportation projects in recent years, and today’s announcement further represents our commitment to investing in high-quality infrastructure, including in our rural areas,” Kemp, who serves as chairman of the SRTA Board of Directors, said in a news release. “We’re taking a long-term view with this funding, which is why for the first time, GTIB is extending awards to two regional airports to construct multiple hangars, supporting business aviation and driving economic activity.”
SRTA also announced the opening of the GTIB FY 2027 call for applications. Community Improvement Districts and local, regional and state government entities can apply as well as publicly owned airports.
“GTIB continues to accelerate critical local transportation projects that improve safety, strengthen connectivity, and expand economic opportunities across Georgia. Communities of all sizes, rural areas, CIDs, and airports can leverage GTIB’s grants and low-interest loans to move projects forward faster and close funding gaps,” said Jannine Miller, executive director of SRTA. “Thanks to the $46 million AFY 2025 budget enhancement from Governor Kemp and the General Assembly, this record-level funding remains available to help communities build key infrastructure to thrive.”
The application window will be open through August 21, and potential applicants can find full program details at www.srta.ga.gov/gtib.
