At the regular meeting of the Gregory City Council on Monday, September 16, 2024, the council approved the airport Airport Improvement Program (AIP) and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) grant pre-applications for the t-hangars that are scheduled for construction in 2025. SPN & Associates, the engineering company the city is working with on the project, had to re-do the application because the project was moved to 2025 with completion in 2026 in order to secure more funding. The city’s share of the AIP will be $28,026 and $43,948 for the BIL. For about $70,000, the city will have a new hangar with four stalls worth about $800,000. Some of that $70,000 has already been spent on engineering costs in preparation of the project. City Finance Officer Trudy Waterman has already received calls from airplane owners interested in renting a stall.
