Cheyenne Regional Airport has been told by a federal agency that it violated the terms of a $650,000 grant and may have to repay the money. The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reported that the airport and city officials learned of the problem last month after an investigation conducted by the Office of the Inspector General, which is part of the U.S. Commerce Department. The grant provided money in 1995 and 1997 to renovate an existing airplane hangar at the airport into an aircraft painting facility. The grant was to help create new jobs by teaching people how to paint aircraft. The paint shop is now empty. The newspaper reports that a board overseeing the airport is in talks with the federal agency about the grant and management of the hangar.
