MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The director at the Morgantown Municipal Airport said a Pennsylvania-based contractor is paying the facility to tear down an old T-hangar.
Airport Director Jon Vrabel said contractors like Safeco Environmental of Dilliner, Pa. are interested in the steel that’s part of the hangars.
“The buildings are all steel and the steel is very high quality due to the age,” Vrabel said. “When you look at reusing that steel, it has a value. So, we’re actually being paid to take the buildings down because of the value of the steel.”
The airport will receive $500, according to Vrabel.
T-hangar structures were part of the original airport configuration.
“The old T-hangars are about 80 years-old. they’re no longer being used,” Vrabel said. “A couple years ago we built a new T-hangar facility on the property, on the east side of the property, opposite of the terminal building.”
He said it would cost too much to remodel them.
