Federal Grant Award Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) awarded $403,396.84 to the Broken Bow Airport Authority on June 9, 2026, to reconstruct a 7,000 square-foot sponsor-owned hangar used for aircraft storage and maintenance at Broken Bow Municipal Airport in Broken Bow, Nebraska. The hangar reconstruction project addresses infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful life and is eligible under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act's expanded eligibility provisions. This grant funds a portion of the total project costs, with an associated Airport Improvement Program grant funding the remaining eligible project expenses. The project is expected to be completed by June 8, 2030.

The hangar reconstruction represents a critical infrastructure improvement supporting the airport's operational capabilities and revenue-generating potential. As a public-use airport within the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems, Broken Bow Municipal Airport's facility enhancement aligns with the Airport Infrastructure Grants program's objectives to modernize and maintain essential aviation infrastructure across the nation. The grant recipient is required to maintain updated airport layout plans throughout the 20-year grant agreement duration, submit periodic progress reports documenting project bidding, contract awards, work commencement, and completion status, and retain accounting records for three years following final expenditure reporting.
