Municipal Airport Authority Regular Monthly Meeting - April 2026

The Shelbyville Municipal Airport Authority held its regular monthly meeting on April 30, 2026, focusing primarily on airport development, procurement, and capital improvement projects. Key procurement discussions included the development of a draft Request for Proposal (RFP) for new hangar construction on airport property, with considerations for minimum capital investment requirements and flexible proposal options to maximize property use. The board discussed the importance of transparent scoring criteria for evaluating proposals, balancing price with quality and functionality. Additionally, the authority reviewed plans for terminal renovations, including a potential $1.5 million project with a 50% matching grant from the state, and the upcoming bid advertisement for hangar renovations. Updates on the Tennessee Aviation Professionals Academy and the MTSU aviation facility construction were also provided. The board approved moving forward with the RFP draft review and agreed to forgo the May meeting unless urgent matters arise, with a special call meeting option available.
