The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Montgomery County Revenue Authority $337,320 through the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 8, 2025, to support airport infrastructure development in the Gaithersburg, Maryland area. This project grant funds Phase 1 design work for a new 3,600-square-foot, sponsor-owned aircraft storage hangar at Montgomery Village Airport. The hangar facility is intended to enhance the airport's financial sustainability by generating additional revenue through aircraft storage operations.

The grant extends through September 7, 2029, providing the awardee with federal funding specifically allocated for the design phase of the hangar construction project. Upon completion of Phase 1 design activities, the Montgomery County Revenue Authority may pursue additional federal funding through subsequent AIP grant awards to support hangar construction phases.
