New Hangar Facility For Wilmington Air Park

A new hangar facility in Clinton County is expected to create more than 250 jobs at the Wilmington air park, where nearly 8-thousand jobs were lost when DHL Express moved its package delivery operations.Local officials and an aircraft leasing and cargo transportation company say construction of the 15.5 million dollar hangar begins next month and should take a year to complete.
