City of Hickory and Burke County leaders gathered this morning to celebrate the completion of a new aircraft hangar at Hickory Regional Airport.
The City of Hickory and Burke County partnered to construct the new hangar. The structure includes 12,000 square feet of group hangar space, along with a 3,000-square-foot office complex. An existing airport tenant will be moving their helicopter operations into this new space, freeing up room in another hangar and allowing us to welcome even more aircraft and more tax base into Hickory and Burke County.
“This is the fourth hangar and second group hangar of this size that our two communities have come together to build, and it stands as a testament to what we can accomplish when we work hand in hand toward a shared vision,” said Mayor Guess during the ribbon cutting.
“The Hickory Regional Airport is truly one of our region’s greatest assets. It plays a vital role in driving economic development, not only within the airport itself but throughout the surrounding area. With each investment we make, we’re strengthening the airport’s ability to attract new opportunities, generate revenue, and support the growth of our local economy.”
