Owensboro airport moves forward with $2.5 million hangar project

OWENSBORO, Ky. (WEHT) — The Owensboro-Daviess County Regional Airport is moving forward with building new t-hangars.

According to officials, the project is estimated to cost $2.5 million. The project will include repairing 10 hangars and the construction of 10 additional ones.

LATEST KENTUCKY NEWS:

Airport board members say the hangars are designed to house smaller private airplanes. They say they found a need for it after over twenty residents expressed interest in storing their aircraft at the airport.

“We don’t have any available hangars,” said Board Chairman Doug Hoyt.” We sought out some funding through the Kentucky legislature that will allow us to build ten new hangars that we can lease out to aircraft owners.”

Hoyt says this will be the first hangar infrastructure expansion in nearly 40 years.
