PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) - For rent: Vintage aircraft hangar. Historically significant. Repairs needed.
The Pease Development Authority is having a hard time finding a tenant for the former Pan Am Airlines hangar, which has sat empty for 10 years at Portsmouth International Airport.
Executive director David Mullen tells the Portsmouth Herald (https://bit.ly/2lbOReA ) that obstacles to leasing the 4.5-acre space include the substantial investment needed to rehab the building and environmental concerns over use of a chemical solvent by the Air Force.
Mullen said restricted hours of use preclude Fed-Ex and other delivery companies using overnight flights. But he remains hopeful that the right tenant, possibly an airline or maintenance and repair company, can one day utilize the space.
