Hot Springs Airport to apply for state grant to repair four hangar roofs
Summary
Airport Director Don Rowlett told the board the airport will seek a state aeronautics grant to repair roofs on four hangars to stop water intrusion; staff plans to apply for a grant that may cover up to 50% of eligible costs.
The City of Hot Springs will apply to the Arkansas Division of Aeronautics for grant funding to repair roofs on four aircraft hangars at Hot Springs Memorial Airport, Airport Director Don Rowlett told the board.
Rowlett said long-term deferred maintenance has allowed leaks in multiple hangars; staff and the Airport Advisory Committee prioritized four hangars — two large commercial hangars, one large community hangar and a medium aircraft storage hangar — for roof-only repairs. Rowlett said the lowest “repair” proposal received was $40,200 for one hangar-type package and that state aeronautics staff indicated the project would be eligible for grant consideration; the project could be eligible for a 50/50 grant depending on the award.
Rowlett said the grant review process will likely take about six to eight weeks because it must go to the state board for approval. He said the resolution on the agenda is to authorize filing the grant application; acceptance of any award would come forward as a separate action if the state issues funding.
No formal action was taken at the agenda meeting; the item is scheduled for formal consideration at the board’s regular meeting.
