Congressman Aderholt Announces $468,426 FAA Grant for Robbins Field in Oneonta

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) today announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation, through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has awarded a grant of $468,426 to the City of Oneonta and Blount County to support critical infrastructure improvements at Robbins Field (FAA identifier: 20A).

The funding, allocated under the Fiscal Year 2025 Airport Improvement Program (AIP), will be used to construct a new 500-foot taxi laneat Robbins Field. This development will provide improved airfield access to a non-exclusive T-hangar area, enabling the airport to meet current federal standards and expand its capacity for general aviation services.

"Robbins Field plays an important role in the economic vitality of Oneonta, Blount County, and the greater region," said Congressman Aderholt. "This investment in aviation infrastructure will improve safety, support local operations, and ensure the airport remains a vital asset for the community."

The project will help enhance the operational efficiency of the airport and support future growth by creating the infrastructure necessary for additional hangar space. It reflects ongoing federal, state, and local collaboration to ensure rural and regional airports continue to serve as important transportation and economic hubs.

The grant was issued through the FAA's FY 2025 Airport Improvement Program, which provides funding for the planning and development of public-use airports that are part of the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS).
