This Project will allow for future development of the Airport, and help alleviate the current issue of limited hangar space. These taxilanes will be designed to support a mixture of both T-Hangars and Box Hangars, allowing for a variety of different aircraft to be housed at the Airport. This Project will be funded by a 90/10 cost split with TxDOT, with design occurring in 2024 and construction expected to occur in 2025.
