MONMOUTH A year and a half after Monmouth’s municipal airport hangar burned to the ground, the rebuilding process is moving forward.
The fire that broke out on Oct. 24, 2019, destroyed the hangar, an adjacent office, and eight planes, causing more than $1 million in damages.
“We immediately retained our airport engineering firm to start to move forward with the design and location of the new hangar,” said city administrator Lew Steinbrecher.
Those plans were approved last week by the Division of Aeronautics at the Illinois Department of Transportation, after delays related to staffing issues on the state’s end and COVID-19.
