Construct/expand hangar

The Union Parish Police Jury received a Project Grant award of $325,441.05 on August 6, 2025, from the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to support the construction of an 8,400 square-foot sponsor-owned T-hangar complex at Farmerville Airport in Louisiana. The T-hangar facility will provide aircraft storage capacity designed to enhance the airport's financial self-sufficiency through revenue generation. This award funds a portion of the final construction phase of the project, with an associated Airport Infrastructure Grant addressing the remaining eligible project costs. The project completion date is scheduled for August 5, 2029.

The T-hangar construction project supports the Federal Aviation Administration's strategic objectives of maintaining a comprehensive nationwide system of public-use airports while generating long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment. As the local government entity responsible for airport operations in Union Parish, the Police Jury will oversee project execution, maintain required airport layout plans, and submit periodic progress reports documenting contract awards and work completion milestones throughout the performance period.
