Construct/expand hangar

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Hebron Municipal Airport $308,421.05 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on July 9, 2025, to fund the construction phase of a hangar expansion project. This award supports the expansion of an existing airport-owned hangar by 2,750 square feet to increase aircraft storage capacity and enhance the airport's revenue-generating capabilities. The project, with an ultimate completion date of July 8, 2029, is part of a larger infrastructure initiative funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which expanded eligibility criteria for airport improvement projects. This grant represents a portion of the final phase, with an accompanying Airport Improvement Program grant funding the remaining eligible project costs.

The hangar expansion project addresses the airport's operational sustainability by enabling the facility to generate additional revenue through expanded aircraft storage services. As a locally owned public-use airport, Hebron Municipal Airport benefits from this federal investment to develop infrastructure that supports civil aviation needs in rural Nebraska while maintaining the airport's role within the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems. The project aligns with the FAA's strategic priorities of infrastructure modernization and long-term economic benefits to the local community.
