A $10 million construction project has been completed at Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport for Coast Flight that includes new hangars, a new flight school and fueling facility for private jets and prop planes.
C&S Companies replaced eight existing buildings that were deteriorating and had outlived their usefulness with three new buildings, including the new flight school, said Cory Hazlewood, company vice president.
“They were very run down and dated. They were just in poor shape,” Hazlewood said. “It really dressed up an area of the airport that was in bad shape.”
