Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $432,105.26 to the City of Tecumseh, operating as the Tecumseh Airport Authority, on July 2, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117). This Project Grant funds the construction phase of a new 6,000 square foot sponsor-owned aircraft storage hangar at Tecumseh Municipal Airport in Tecumseh, Nebraska. The hangar construction is designed to enhance the airport's financial sustainability by generating revenue through aircraft storage services. This grant represents the final phase of the overall project, with an associated Airport Improvement Program grant funding the remaining eligible project costs. The project is scheduled for completion by July 1, 2030.

The hangar construction qualifies for funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act's expanded eligibility provisions, which permit revenue-generating airport facilities previously ineligible for federal funding. The award is part of the FAA's $14.5 billion five-year Airport Infrastructure Grants initiative, which supports runway, taxiway, apron, terminal, hangar, and safety projects at airports listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. The Tecumseh Airport Authority previously received a $150,000 design grant in May 2025 for this hangar project, demonstrating the airport's commitment to infrastructure development and operational improvement.
