FAA Awards $13.1 Million Contract for New Huntsville Air Traffic Control Tower
The new complex will include the control tower and a 10,000-square-foot administrative and operational base building.
ATLANTA – The Federal Aviation Administration has awarded a $13.1 million contract to the Carmon Construction Co. of Albertville, AL to construct a new 246-foot tall air traffic control tower at Huntsville International Airport in Alabama.
The new complex will include the control tower and a 10,000-square-foot administrative and operational base building. It will be located in the middle of the airfield between the two runways, 3,000 feet south of the airport terminal.
The new tower is necessary to accommodate future growth at the airport. The tower will give air traffic controllers unobstructed views of the entire airfield. Construction will begin in November, and the FAA expects to occupy the building in 2008.
