Hangar going up

The new six-bay hangar at the Wayne Airport is in the skeleton stage now, but is expected to take shape quickly with the cement floor poured and support beams in place.

Carhart Lumber has the $33,423 contract for the all-steel structure, which will house six planes, with doors on both the west and east.

The 53 by 144-foot building was approved by the City Council some time ago and the contract signed May 24, with completion to be in 100 days.

However, changes in the plans were made after that time so completion may be delayed until later in September.

None of the space has been rented as yet, but several bays have been spoken for.
