City Hangar getting another look

By Ed Richter | Wednesday, May 28, 2008, 10:15 AM

During Middletown City Council’s work session Tuesday, city officials advised council members that they received some calls from some people who are interested in redeveloping the City Hangar at Hook Field after the last public discussion on the topic.

David Duritsch, the city’s engineering and environmental services director, suggested putting out a Request For Proposals to rehabilitate or demolish the 70-year-old structure. “It gives us a chance to see what’s out there,” Duritsch said.

He said once the RFPs are sent back to the city, the Airport Commission will have the opportunity to review them and make a recommendation back to council.

A previous proposal to renovate the City Hangar was recently rejected by council because it did not make any economic sense to proceed. Council then approved demolishing the structure.

City Manager Judy Gillleland said if there was no viable rehabilitation proposal, then demolition remains an option.
