Construct/expand hangar

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) a Project Grant totaling $1,120,470.53 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 15, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 14, 2029. This award functions as a state block grant program enabling TxDOT to administer and distribute Airport Improvement Program sub-awards to nonprimary airports throughout Texas. The grant supports airport infrastructure development and expansion initiatives designed to strengthen the state's aviation infrastructure system.

Under this award, TxDOT issued a sub-award to the City of Wichita Falls (announced December 17, 2025) to construct a box hangar at Wichita Falls Municipal Airport as depicted on the airport layout plan. The hangar construction project utilizes both Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems (NPIAS) funding through a design-build delivery method. This infrastructure investment aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of supporting long-term economic benefits and maintaining an adequate nationwide airport system to meet civil aeronautics needs.
