This grant provided funding to construct a waterline to serve the Wayne County Executive Jetport as part of a larger project to add several hangars at the jetport. Waterline improvements were needed to extend potable water and meet fire flow requirements. MIL2ATP, a flight training business that operated at the airport, entered a ground lease and constructed a new hangar at the jetport and as part of an effort to hire 10 new full-time employees. In addition to MIL2ATP, the project served others at the airpark including the UNC Healthcare Air Ambulance Service, the Wayne County Sheriff Department’s Aviation Unit, Omni Aircraft Services, and Wayne Community College’s Aviation Program. The waterline extension was part of a larger corporate area expansion at the airport with a total cost of over $4 million.
