The anticipated length of the wait list for a T-hangar at the Flagler Executive Airport just got shorter.
The Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting on Monday, April 19, approved a Florida Department of Transportation Public Transportation Grant Agreement for $117,000 that will completely fund the design costs for three new T-hangar buildings of 14 units each – a total of 42 new hangars.
“The airport currently has 56 T-hangars, which are all occupied,” Airport Director Roy Sieger said. “The T-hangar waiting list has 79 individuals on it, with an average waiting period of approximately two years to get a hangar.”
More such t-hangars are on the way. (Flagler Executive Airport)
A little over a year ago the Flagler County Commission approved a $250,000 buy of a 15-acre parcel adjoining the county airport to accommodate part of the long-planned, long-awaited general aviation terminal Airport Director Roy Sieger has been talking up for several years. The terminal is to be a 15,000 square foot building, hardened for weather emergencies, with office and some commercial space.
It was expected to be done “within the next three years,” Sieger said reporters more than three years ago, when he was touting the airport’s new, $17 million runway to local officials. At the time he put the cost of the terminal at around $4.5 million, with design costs, 80 percent of it to be paid with transportation grant, the other 20 percent to be paid by the airport’s own fund. As with most construction costs, the price has risen to $6.5 million, making the county’s share $1.3 million.
