\u201cThere is strong demand for hangars to house corporate\naircraft. These types of aircraft are critical to the growth and economic\nvitality of Pitt Greenville Airport and Eastern North Carolina\u201d, says Bill\nHopper, Pitt Greenville Airport Executive Director. \u201cAttracting based corporate\naircraft is the largest opportunity for growth at Pitt Greenville Airport.\nThese new hangars will be the catalyst for attracting that type of activity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are excited to add these hangars. The additional hangars\nwill greatly enhance our capacity to attract new corporate aircraft tenants\nthat will further stimulate commerce in our community. The typical corporate\nhangar tenant tends to increase overall economic activities in numerous ways\nsuch as opening new businesses and expanding existing businesses that, create\nmore jobs, enhances the property tax base with minimal local investment, all\nwhile using other billable airport services that increases PGV revenues\u201d, says\nEric Clark, Chairman of the Pitt Greenville Airport Authority. \u201cThis investment\nwill greatly benefit the airport and our region of Eastern North Carolina.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
