(From the Quincy Herald –Whig)
The City of Hannibal is one step closer to having a new terminal at the Hannibal Regional Airport (KHAE).
The finalized terminal plans include a pilot's lounge with kitchenette and sleeping area, a lobby, a conference room, restrooms, areas for flight instruction, offices for the fixed base operator (FBO) and other amenities.
"It seems to me like a functional building, and the architect has put some of his gingerbread on it to make it eye-pleasing and an amenity out there," Rees said. "When people land their plane and first walk in Hannibal's doors, they (will) see something nicer."
Barron Aviation will experience something nicer, as well. The main hangar currently serves as the airport's hub and offices.
"This will give an actual terminal for people, a presentable place for businessmen and politicians and people who come and go at the airport," Barron said.
The new facilities will run about $1.2 million, funded by Missouri Department of Transportation aviation dollars, a federal grant matching that amount and a city match.
Federal money also will fund the access road and parking lot.
