Port of HR Sending T-Hangar Project To Bill

The Port of Hood River plans to send out to a bid a project that will construct ten new T-hangars at the Ken Jernstedt Airfield.  Port Executive Director Kevin Greenwood says having the new hangars available for lease is a big step toward moving airport operations toward break even.  The project is also slated to include a turf taxiline and other improvements.  Greenwood says extra net income realized at the airport has to be used for that facility.  This is a part of a list of moves being considered by the Port to develop increased revenue options.  Greenwood says jumpstarting discussions on how to use Waterfront Lot 1 is another possibility.
