Construct/expand hangar

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southern Region awarded $632,220 to Murray-Calloway County Airport on July 30, 2026, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) to construct a new 12,000 square foot hangar for aircraft storage. The hangar will generate revenue to support the airport's self-sustainability. This award funds a portion of the final construction phase; a separate associated Airport Improvement Program grant funds the remaining eligible portion. Performance occurs at Murray, Kentucky, with an ultimate completion date of July 29, 2030. The Airport Improvement Program assists public-use airport sponsors in developing infrastructure to meet civil aeronautics needs and support long-term economic benefits. Recipients must maintain an airport layout plan for the duration of the grant agreement (ordinarily 20 years) and retain accounting records for three years after submission of the final expenditure report.
