Background

Dane County Regional Airport (MSN) is embarking on a development initiative to construct one or multiple hangar facilities intended for future tenants. With limited space available for hangar development, MSN aims to strategically utilize areas available to create revenue-generating opportunities and support long-term growth.

As a small-hub Primary Commercial Services Airport, MSN is served by American Airlines, Delta, Breeze Airways, Sun Country (Allegiant), Frontier, and United Airlines. The airport has consistently surpassed passenger records, most recently exceeding 1.3 million enplanements in 2025.

The project process will be conducted in coordination with the Wisconsin Bureau of Aeronautics (BOA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and will include multiple review stages by MSN, BOA, and FAA representatives.

MSN intends to construct one or multiple hangar facilities in the following antipicated area(s):

The South Ramp Area is located on the airfield, east of the 115^th ANG Base and directly north/east of Mitchell Street and inside the security fence at MSN. Four area(s) have identified above and listed below, based on estimated acreage available:

• Area #1 -> 5.3 Acres (Intended hangar development)
• Area #2 -> 0.7 Acres (Intended hangar development)
• Area #3 -> 0.5 Acres (Intended hangar development)
• Area #4 -> 5.8 Acres (Intended cargo development)
