Payne says that plans that the airport had in place for additional hangar development had to be changed.

The plan now is to further development on the south side of the property, near existing hangars and the self-fuel depot. Payne says that there are utility concerns that must be addressed, but airport officials are meeting with utility representatives on Tuesday to gather more information. Payne says he expects to have an updated plan to present to the Redevelopment Commission next month.
