A ground-breaking ceremony will [be] held today at Spirit of St. Louis Airport for a new $300,000 hangar that will be used by Wings of hope Inc.
The St. Louis-based non-profit organization provides aircraft used for medical, missionary and development work in remote parts of the world. The organization now rents space at various airports.
County Executive Gene McNary and two Wings of Hope officials – George Haddaway and Paul Rodgers – will take part in the ceremony at 10:30 a.m. at the airport. The county-owned airport is at Chesterfield Airport Road, south of U.S. Highway 40. The hangar will be built in an area of the airport that is part of a $6.2 million expansion program.
