Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Apr 10, 2013) — About 25 interested individuals attended the public meeting, on Wednesday April 10, 2013 at Jamestown Regional Airport as the topic was the growing needs at the airport.

Specially building t-hangars at the airport was discussed.

The Jamestown Regional Airport Authority presented a preliminary tentative plan for the t-hangars that would be located in the southwest parcel of airport land.

Another option is building the hangar in the southeast corner.

As Jamestown Regional Airport Mnager Matt Leitner said on a recent Wayne Byers Show, on CSi Cable 2, the plan includes constructing ten hangars, two smaller and eight larger.

The plan also calls for one set of 10 hangars to be constructed initially and then build any additional sets based demand.

He said options include the airport owning and then leasing the hangars or having the hangars privately owned.

The t-hangars presently at the airport are currently owned privately.

　

The project is eligible for federal funding, and would likely pay for most of the cost of the aprons leading to the hangars.

　

Pilots suggested that rent of $200 per month was too high and should not be more than $165 per month.

Jamestown Regional Airport Authority Chairman, Jim Boyd, says building the first set of hangars may start this year, pending interest for the hangars.
