DeKalb OK’d construction of new PDK hangars

DeKalb County has signed an $8.2 million contract to 63 new hangars at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport.

The deal with the Astra Group of Woodstock calls for hangars to be built along a crosswinds runway near the airport’s Clairmont Road side. Once built, they will help ease a 10-year waiting list for the airport’s existing 90 hangars.

The construction is being paid from the airport’s enterprise fund but is expected to put some money into county coffers, from increased property taxes and fuel fees.
