Construct/expand hangar

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $378,727.37 to the Union County Airport Authority under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 13, 2025, to support Phase 3 construction of a new sponsor-owned aircraft storage hangar in Marysville, Ohio. This project phase encompasses construction of 3,144 square feet of the planned 16,000 square foot T-hangar facility, which will generate revenue through aircraft storage services and enhance the airport's financial self-sustainability. The grant will be executed through August 12, 2029, allowing the airport authority approximately four years to complete the construction phase and closeout activities.

This infrastructure investment supports the FAA's strategic objectives of operational excellence and long-term economic benefits by modernizing airport facilities and enabling the airport to expand its revenue-generating capabilities. The hangar construction represents a critical component of the airport's systematic infrastructure development program, which has received cumulative federal funding exceeding $1 million since 2021 for various capital projects including runway surface maintenance, land acquisition, and pandemic-related operational support.
