Construct or improve fuel farm

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $113,684.21 to the Nebraska City Airport Authority on June 16, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to fund the final construction phase of a new fuel farm facility at Nebraska City Municipal Airport. The project delivers two fuel storage tanks, two self-service fuel pumps, and associated apron pavement improvements to enable the non-primary airport to offer a new fuel type and enhance operational self-sustainability through increased revenue generation.

This award represents one component of a multi-phase fuel facility development project that is coordinated with concurrent funding from Airport Improvement Program grants and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law appropriations covering the remaining eligible project costs. The project is scheduled for completion by June 15, 2029. The infrastructure improvements are intended to support the airport's long-term operational efficiency and economic viability while contributing to the FAA's strategic objectives of maintaining a comprehensive, safe, and efficient national airport system.
