The roadway to Gate 5 next to Hangar A has reopened now that construction is complete.
Active Airport Projects
Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP)
Concord-Padgett Regional Airport plans its major improvements through an Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP). The ACIP is a multi-year list of priority projects that the City of Concord coordinates each year with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Division of Aviation. Projects on the ACIP are eligible for FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) and NCDOT state aviation grants, which fund a large share of the cost of runway, taxiway, apron, and other airfield improvements. The projects below are some current projects that use grant funding.
North Apron Access Road
Construction is underway on the North Apron Access Road, which extends Aviation Boulevard past Hangar H to the new north apron hangar development area.
Hangar-in-Common (HIC)
The Airport is developing a new common hangar facility to help meet the strong regional demand for aircraft storage. The project is located to the north of the Hangar H. JD Goodrum was selected as the contractor for the project, which is anticipated to begin shortly after the roadway project is completed.
Commercial Service Terminal Apron Expansion
This project will expand the aircraft parking apron at the commercial service terminal to accommodate continued growth in airline service. Design for the project will be completed this fall. Construction will begin when grant funds become available and a contractor is selected.
Airport Master Plan Update
The Airport is working with the FAA to update its Airport Master Plan. The plan will look at future aviation demand and identify the facilities needed to meet it, producing an updated Airport Layout Plan and a prioritized project list that will guide future updates to the ACIP.
