OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — For the first time in more than 20 years, more than a dozen airport-owned hangers will be built at Wittman Regional Airport.
Crews will begin construction on 20 new T-Hanger units next month.
The two 10-unit buildings will be built on the east ramp, directly south of the intersection of Taxiway J and Taxiway E. The project will also include earthwork, taxi-lane construction, utility and stormwater features.
Each hangar unit will be sized to fit up to a light piston twin. They will have automatic bifold doors, concrete floors, and will be insulated and heated.
One of the buildings will have a public restroom for use by all tenants and visitors in the east ramp area. As a part of the project site work, we will also be creating six shovel-ready hangar pad sites for up to 60’x60′ privately-built hangars, with electric and gas connections nearby.
Demolition of the more than 50-year-old pavement and five structures that currently exist on the site will begin in February, with completion of the project scheduled for late summer 2023.
Lots will be available for land lease in summer 2023.
Airport officials say hanger space is extremely limited with a waiting list of more than 50 aircraft owners and pilots. These new T-hangers will help alleviate that demand.
This project is being funded through county, state and federal grant funding.
