Council approves design proposal for 80'x80' airport hangar; city share for design $1,750
Summary
The council approved a $70,000 design-and-bid proposal for a new 80-by-80-foot hangar at Pipestone Municipal Airport. Funding was described as roughly 95% federal, 2.5% state and 2.5% local, leaving the city's share of design costs at $1,750.
The Pipestone City Council approved a design-and-bid proposal to build an 80-by-80-foot hangar at the Pipestone Municipal Airport.
City staff said the total cost for design services is $70,000 and that federal, state and local funding shares reduce the city's share of design costs to $1,750 (reported in the meeting as the local portion under a 95% federal / 2.5% state / 2.5% local split). Staff said the federal funding sunsets in 2025 and the hangar must be constructed in 2025 to qualify.
Council approved the design proposal by voice vote. Staff noted the hangar will be added to existing inventory and that a waiting list exists for hangar rental spaces, indicating likely demand.
The city plans to site the new hangar south of the existing group of hangars, near Taxi Lane Two and north of the entrance road, according to staff remarks.
