This grant funds the construction of 741 square feet of a planned 5,600 square foot hangar designed for aircraft storage and maintenance. The project is part of a multi-phase infrastructure development initiative aimed at enhancing the airport's revenue-generating capabilities and operational self-sustainability. The ultimate completion date for this phase is May 11, 2029.

The Airport Improvement Program, administered through the FAA's Great Lakes Region office, provides federal grants to support the development and modernization of airport infrastructure nationwide. The Walhalla project aligns with the program's objectives to support civil aeronautics infrastructure and enhance airport operational efficiency. The hangar facility, once fully constructed across all funded phases, will enable the airport to expand its aircraft storage and maintenance services, thereby increasing revenue potential and supporting the airport's long-term financial viability.
