The Hamilton County Airport Authority (HCAA) Board held a meeting on August 12, 2026, where key procurement and capital improvement topics were discussed. The board reviewed progress on the Instrument Landing System (ILS) final ground inspection and the Customs Facility project, which is advancing toward 100% design completion by fall. Maintenance issues were addressed, including repairs to a broken septic line and installation of a buck booster electrical component. The board discussed soliciting quotes from local contractors for a $100,000 INDOT maintenance grant focused on pavement repairs at both Executive and Sheridan airports. Additionally, the board received updates on the ongoing construction of new executive hangers, with completion expected by mid-September. A significant agenda item was the approval of authorization for the airport president and legal counsel to sign grant agreements and a $1.572 million construction contract for the North Ramp Reconstruction project, contingent on receipt of approximately $675,000 in FAA grant funds. The board also approved vendor claims totaling $12,615.68 and payroll claims. Overall, the meeting emphasized advancing capital projects, securing grant funding, and managing maintenance and operational growth at the airports.
