NORWICH – Chenango County lawmakers gave the go ahead to construct a six-bay T-hangar at the Lt. Warren E. Eaton Airport Monday.

The Planning & Economic Development Committee, meeting prior to the regular full board of supervisors meeting, reviewed options to build a four, six or 10-bay facility, or scraping the project altogether.

Tioga Building Company of Herkimer was awarded the general construction contract and Bagnall Electric of Sherburne will build the electrical portion, at a total cost of $316,900. Payment will be made from state and federal grants as well as from the airport’s set aside capital improvement trust fund.
