Construct/expand hangar

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), through its Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), awarded $497,894.74 to the Cambridge Airport Authority on July 11, 2025, to fund the construction phase of a new 10,000 square foot sponsor-owned aircraft hangar at Cambridge Municipal Airport in Cambridge, Nebraska. This hangar project is designed to generate revenue through aircraft storage services and enhance the airport's financial self-sustainability. The grant represents a portion of the final construction phase, with an associated Airport Improvement Program grant funding the remaining eligible project costs. The project is eligible under the expanded eligibility provisions of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and carries a completion deadline of July 10, 2029.

The hangar construction project directly supports the FAA's strategic objectives of maintaining a safe, efficient, and economically viable nationwide airport system. As a municipal airport authority, the Cambridge Airport Authority will utilize the federal funding to construct critical infrastructure that improves airport operational capacity and revenue generation capabilities, consistent with the Airport Improvement Program's mission to support the development and modernization of public-use airport infrastructure across the United States.
