Construct/modify/improve/rehabilitate hangar; construct taxilane

The County of Fillmore, Minnesota received a $1.8 million project grant from the Federal Aviation Administration to construct airport infrastructure improvements at the Preston Municipal Airport. Funded through the Airport Improvement Program, COVID-19 Airports Programs, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs (CFDA 20.106), the grant will support construction of a new 500 foot taxi lane and 9,600 square foot T-hangar. Completion is expected by August 2025. The taxi lane will connect an existing parking area to the new T-hangar, which will provide aircraft storage and generate revenue to support the airport's self-sufficiency. The funding is intended to benefit airports in Preston, Minnesota.
