Construct/expand hangar

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region awarded $300,000 to County of Ocean on June 29, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) to fund the final phase of hangar construction at Toms River Airport.

The funding supports contractor mobilization and electrical installation for a new 19,500 square foot sponsor-owned hangar designed for aircraft storage. The hangar construction enables the airport to generate revenue and operate more self-sustainably. Work is performed in Toms River, New Jersey, with a period of performance through June 28, 2030. County of Ocean, the parent entity recipient administering the award through its Department of Finance, has established a track record managing Federal Aviation Administration grants for airport infrastructure, having received over $2.4 million in Airport Improvement Program funding since 2021 for taxiway rehabilitation, hangar construction, and apron pavement rehabilitation at the same facility.
