Formula Grant 33100810192026

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the City of Tecumseh, operating as the Tecumseh Airport Authority, a formula grant of $670,000 on July 2, 2026, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) to construct a new 6,000 square foot sponsor-owned hangar for aircraft storage at Tecumseh Municipal Airport in Tecumseh, Nebraska. This award represents the final construction phase of a multi-phase project and is paired with a complementary Airport Infrastructure Grant that funds the remaining eligible portion of the project. The hangar construction is designed to enhance the airport's financial sustainability by generating revenue through aircraft storage services while leveraging the sponsor's adequate prior investment in the airport's airside infrastructure needs.

The Airport Improvement Program supports the development of a nationwide system of public-use airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems. This funding mechanism enables airport sponsors to invest in critical infrastructure that meets the needs of civil aeronautics and supports long-term economic benefits. The project is scheduled for completion by July 1, 2030, and the awardee must maintain accounting records and project documentation for three years following submission of the final expenditure report in compliance with 2 CFR 200 audit requirements.
