Corporate Hangars

August 9th, we still do not have the June Airport Board Minutes, never mind July (they are not on the official website either, http://www.flyworcester.com). Many times people have told me that we need more corporate hangars at ORH. Check out what Stewart International has done. The story is short:

Stewart to get new hangars
By Craig Wolf

Ascend Development SWF LLC has signed a deal with Stewart International Airport to develop a large hangar complex for corporate jets in the next 10 years.The total project is valued at $60 million, airport president Chuck Seliga said.The company will lease about 32 acres of land and develop it in phases.Construction is expected to begin within a year, according to information handed out by Seliga. This will allow time for due diligence, land surveys and analysis.Facilities would eventually include 15 hangars serving a variety of corporate jets, from the smallest to the largest, Seliga said.The development is expected to create a large number of jobs, said Richard O'Beirne, head of the Construction Contractors Association of the Hudson Valley.
