Construct/expand hangar

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), through its Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), awarded a Project Grant of $388,154.74 to the City of Sauk Centre on September 18, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 17, 2029. The grant funds the construction of a new 7,200 square foot sponsor-owned hangar facility at Sauk Centre Municipal Airport in Minnesota. The hangar is designed to support aircraft maintenance operations and enhance the airport's revenue-generating capacity, thereby improving overall airport self-sustainability. This grant represents a portion of the total project cost, with an associated Airport Infrastructure Grant funding the remaining eligible project expenses.

The project aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of supporting the development and modernization of airport infrastructure nationwide. By enabling the airport sponsor to expand maintenance capabilities, the hangar construction will support long-term economic benefits and operational efficiency at the regional facility. The project period of approximately four years accommodates design, permitting, construction, and closeout activities typical of infrastructure development initiatives under the Airport Improvement Program.
