Construct/expand hangar

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the City of Tracy, Minnesota a $113,684.21 Project Grant on June 16, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106). This grant funds Phase 2 construction activities for a new 6,750 square foot, four-unit sponsor-owned aircraft storage hangar at Tracy Municipal Airport.
