Reconstruct hangar

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Superior Airport Authority a formula grant of $372,631.58 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on July 15, 2025, for the reconstruction of an existing 10,000 square foot aircraft storage hangar at Superior Municipal Airport in Superior, Nebraska. The hangar, which has reached the end of its useful life, will be reconstructed to restore its functionality for aircraft storage operations. This grant funds a portion of the total project cost, with the remaining eligible project costs covered through a complementary Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) grant. The project is scheduled for completion by July 14, 2029.

This award reflects the FAA's commitment to supporting critical airport infrastructure modernization through its formula grant allocations. As a civilian federal grant administered through the FAA's Central Region, the funding supports the Superior Airport Authority's broader mission to maintain and enhance airport infrastructure. Grant recipients are required to maintain current airport layout plans, retain accounting records for three years following final expenditure reporting, and submit periodic progress reports documenting project bidding, contract awards, work initiation, and completion milestones throughout the project period.
