DeKalb breaks ground on new hangars at PDK

DeKalb County recently broke ground on 67 new hangars at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport.

The $8.2 million contract project, which calls for new hangars along a crosswinds runway near the airport’s Clairmont Road side, will help ease the 10-year waiting list for PDK’s existing 90 hangars.

The work is being paid from the airport’s enterprise fund and generate up to $500,000 a year. Some of that money, from increased property taxes and fuel fees, will end up in the county’s general fund.
