Construct/expand hangar

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southern Region awarded the Elizabethtown Airport Board $157,894.74 on May 22, 2026, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) to construct 4,000 square feet of aircraft storage hangars.

This award funds the fourth and final phase of a multi-phase hangar construction project. The Elizabethtown Airport Board is constructing a new sponsor-owned 5,000 square-foot T-hangar and 3,600 square-foot box hangar for aircraft storage to generate revenue and support airport self-sustainability. This grant funds a portion of the fourth phase; a separate Airport Infrastructure Grants award (CFDA 20.117) funds the remaining eligible portion of the project.

The place of performance is Elizabethtown, Kentucky. The period of performance runs through May 21, 2030. The Elizabethtown Airport Board, a local government entity, operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient under FAA regional programs and has received $11.8 million in combined federal grant obligations across twenty awards since 2008, all as prime recipient with no subcontracting footprint. The airport board has sustained a track record of federal grant compliance across previous hangar and terminal infrastructure phases totaling over $1.1 million.
