Consultant: FAA will fund taxi-lane access but not private hangar aprons
Summary
Engineer Dave Neto told the committee FAA typically pays for the center access pavement to private hangars (25–35 feet) but will not pay for private apron pavement between the taxi lane and private hangar; public-use aprons may be eligible.
Consultant engineer Dave Neto clarified the limits of FAA AIP funding for private hangar development: FAA may contribute to the center access pavement (the middle 25–35 feet) that provides access from the taxi lane, but it does not pay for private apron pavement between the taxi lane and an individual private hangar.
"FAA does not," Neto said, explaining that "If it's a private hangar... Any apron or, additional pavement between that taxi lane or taxiway to a private hangar, that is that is, not eligible for FAA payment." He added that public-use apron work or hangars intended for public use (such as SRE hangars) could be eligible for FAA funding.
Committee members noted that most new hangars are expected to be privately funded by individual builders; Neto confirmed that the town could use AIP funds to construct town-owned hangars if the town elected to build and lease them, but most anticipated development would be private.
