Opportunity Summary:
The FY24 MS HCDC Seaway Rail Truck Site grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR CCD 24 017) is a discretionary, congressionally directed grant administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Federal Railroad Administration. It is focused on transportation infrastructure, specifically supporting the design and construction of a public-access rail-to-truck transload facility in Gulfport, Mississippi. The intent is to create or improve a site where freight can be transferred between railcars and trucks, which typically helps regional shippers access rail service, improves freight efficiency, and strengthens supply chain options by providing an additional logistics node that is open for public use rather than restricted to a single private operator.
Funding under this opportunity is capped at an award ceiling of $3,000,000, with the program anticipating a single award. The eligible applicant pool is restricted: only the Harrison County Development Commission (HCDC) in Mississippi is permitted to apply. That limited eligibility is typical for Congressionally Directed Funding, which is set aside for a specific project and recipient identified through the congressional process. The listing associates the opportunity with CFDA (Assistance Listing) number 20.337, and the primary funding instrument is a grant.
Key timeline details indicate the opportunity was created on February 5, 2026, and the original application closing date is March 1, 2026. In practical terms, the window between posting and deadline is relatively short, reinforcing that this is not an open, competitive solicitation for multiple applicants, but rather a targeted award pathway for a defined project sponsor. The central deliverable is the rail-truck transload site in Gulfport, meaning the funded work is expected to cover planning, engineering and design, and physical construction activities necessary to bring a functional public-access facility online.
