Reconstruct hangar

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $143,000 to the County of Tishomingo Board of Supervisors on July 1, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106). The project entails the reconstruction of an existing sponsor-owned hangar facility at Iuka Municipal Airport in Iuka, Mississippi, which has reached the end of its useful life. The reconstructed hangar will continue to serve critical aircraft storage and maintenance functions for the airport. This grant was made available through expanded eligibility provisions under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021 and will directly benefit airport operations and infrastructure associated with Belmont, Mississippi.

The project is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2029, with ongoing performance at the Iuka, Mississippi location. This infrastructure improvement aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives to enhance airport safety, operational efficiency, and infrastructure resilience while supporting the maintenance of an adequate nationwide system of public-use airports. The hangar reconstruction project represents critical infrastructure modernization for the regional airport system in northeast Mississippi.
