Summary
The airport board spent its state match on site mitigation (an extra $200,000) and finished the first phase early, leaving a gap before the next federal grant round. It's asking the city for about $600,000 for 18 months. Hangar revenue funds airport operations, so this keeps a self-funding revenue source moving.
