Reconstruct hangar

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) a Project Grant of $467,368.42 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 8, 2025, with completion targeted for September 7, 2029. This grant supports the reconstruction of a hangar as part of the FAA's Airport Improvement Program, which funds airport infrastructure investments nationwide. IDOT serves as the state block grant program administrator, utilizing these federal funds to support nonprimary airport improvement projects throughout Illinois.

Under this grant, IDOT administers sub-awards to eligible airports within the Illinois state block grant program, facilitating infrastructure improvements at nonprimary facilities that might not otherwise qualify for direct federal funding. The project grant enables participating airports to undertake critical facility improvements while leveraging the administrative infrastructure and expertise of the state transportation agency. This award reflects the FAA's continued investment in maintaining and modernizing airport infrastructure across the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems to support civil aeronautics and long-term economic benefits at the state and local level.
