Hangar 101 Demolition Project Update – June 28

Posted on by mstewart

The Airport is in the middle of demolishing Hangar 101. The project began on June 8, 2022 following wind storm damage when the building was deemed unsafe by the Duluth Fire Department. This project was cleared by the FAA for immediate demolition through a Notification of Emergency Situation. The demolition only includes the removal of the structure with the concrete hangar pad remaining in place. Further site development will occur in future years as outlined in the Airport Master Plan.

On June 25, 2022 the Federal Aviation Administration published a Notice of Environmental Assessment (EA) regarding this project. A digital version of the EA can be downloaded here [PDF]. Copies of the EA are also available for public review now during regular business hours at the following locations:
