Hangar and building projects advance; Northeast Aviation requests 20‑year option exercise
Summary
Applicants and developers reported progress on a proposed building (Board of Health septic approval), the new Elks building (walls/doors installed), and hangar development (shell and electrical complete); Manager Cardillo reported hangar inspections planned for March–April and Northeast Aviation requested to exercise a 20‑year lease option.
Multiple construction and lease matters were reported to the Plymouth Airport Commission on Feb. 5, including a proposed building with a approved gray water septic plan, progress on a new Elks building, a hangar developer update, and a tenant request to exercise a long‑term lease option.
John Borland reported that the gray water septic plan for his proposed building had been approved by the Board of Health and that a building permit could be approved once the contractor received the approval. Paul Rudzinski said walls are up and doors are installed at the new Elks building and that the project is awaiting a gas hookup. Jason Wolfson said the hangar shell is complete, electrical work is underway, they are ready for asphalt, and the project has been signed off by the town.
Under action items, Manager Matt Cardillo said he had received a request from Northeast Aviation to exercise a 20‑year option on several lease parcels (NE 1, 2, 3 and NW 14, 16, 18, 20); Jeff Randall stated the tenant is current on taxes. Manager Cardillo also said the airport would issue a letter setting a March–April timeframe for hangar inspections. Separately, Cardillo reported that after the December meeting Mr. Matt McManus formally withdrew his request for a NE 2A lease and will not purchase the hangar.
Why it matters: Development and tenancy decisions affect airport capacity, maintenance obligations, and revenue. Scheduled hangar inspections and lease exercises are administrative steps that affect tenants and prospective purchasers.
Next steps: The Commission will proceed with hangar inspections in the March–April timeframe and process the Northeast Aviation request per lease rules; no formal vote to approve lease exercises was recorded at the Feb. 5 meeting.
