The Union County Airport Authority has hit a couple of roadblocks securing funding for the planned 15-unit T-hangars project. The airport has been pursuing several grants to pay for the T-hangars project, which is estimated to cost the airport around $1.8 million.

The Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) money from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is set to provide just under $600,000 toward the project.
