National Park Service awards $750k grant for Douglas Municipal Airport hangar
What happened
The National Park Service awarded a $750,000 grant to Douglas Municipal Airport for the rehabilitation of its large hangar. The project requires a one-to-one financial match, which the City of Douglas has allocated across two fiscal years. The funding will cover an architectural assessment and construction costs, and crews will also resurface the airport aprons and apply a fog seal coat on the runway.
