New hangar approved for Sanford Regional Airport

The town of Sanford recently signed a lease with a company to build a new, eight-unit hangar building at the Sanford Regional Airport.

According to the Weekly Observer, the agreement will allow MAS Hangars to begin building the 18,500-square-foot hangar at the airport, where the Federal Aviation Administration estimates some 76,000 takeoffs and landings occur annually.

Airport Manager Dana Perry told the paper the airport has recently undergone $8 million in largely federally funded improvements, including runway upgrades and new parking spaces for small planes. The airport currently has 66 hangars, which can house up to 80 planes, according to the paper.
