The City of Many received a $518,946.32 Project Grant award from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), with an award date of September 17, 2025, and an ultimate completion date of September 16, 2029. This grant, funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) expanded eligibility provisions, supports the construction of airport infrastructure to enhance operational capacity and revenue generation at the Many Airport located in Many, Louisiana.

The project delivers two primary infrastructure components: construction of a new 170-foot hangar taxilane to provide airfield access to a non-exclusive hangar development area and bring the airport into conformity with current standards, and construction of a new 5,000 square foot sponsor-owned box hangar complex for aircraft storage. These improvements are designed to enhance airport accessibility, modernize facilities to meet current standards, and increase the airport's financial sustainability through revenue-generating hangar operations.
