The Fayette City Council approved the building of new airport hangers during its Aug. 11 meeting. Councilwoman Linda McCraw was absent from the meeting. A proposal from Northwest Bama Builders was submitted to the council to build the hangers at a cost of $20,650. This was the lowest estimate received for the project. Airport manager Kip Madison said that there is a waiting list for hangers at the airport, and said that this appears to be a good time to build the additional hangers. He said that the airport has approximately $20,000 in CARES Act money that can possibly be used for allowable cleaning and sanitation items, thus saving the airport money that can be used to purchase hangers. Councilman Cedric Wilson asked about the turnaround time on getting the hangers built if approved, and Madison said they should be completed in approximately six weeks. Councilman Eddy Campbell made a motion to build the hangers, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Jerry Nichols. The motion was approved unanimously.
