Reconstruct hangar

The Antelope County Airport Authority received a $186,000 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), awarded on June 3, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of June 2, 2029. The grant funds the reconstruction of an existing 6,400 square-foot aircraft maintenance hangar located at the airport in Neligh, Nebraska, that has reached the end of its useful life. This project qualifies for funding under the expanded eligibility provisions of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, which authorizes once-in-a-generation infrastructure investments at airports nationwide to modernize facilities and strengthen transportation infrastructure.

The reconstruction project will restore critical airport infrastructure supporting civil aviation operations and local aviation needs in the Antelope County region. As with all Airport Improvement Program grants, the recipient must maintain current airport layout plans throughout the 20-year grant agreement period, retain accounting records for three years following final expenditure reporting, and submit periodic progress reports documenting project bidding, contracting, and completion milestones to the FAA for oversight and accountability purposes.
