The old facility, which will be repurposed, also includes two smaller storage buildings, built in the 1980s and 1990s. The three buildings combined have approximately 14,000 square feet of space.The most significant features of the new building are three spacious service bays, which are substantially larger than the bays in the old building, and much wider garage doors, which range from 20 to 32 feet wide and 18 to 22 feet tall. The wider doorways will allow EVV to use larger snow-removal machines, which will boost productivity.The old building had 12 different doors and widths, with some only 15 feet wide, Hahn relates. Our dump trucks were limited to only a 12-foot-wide plow blade. For main and secondary runways as big as ours, we need 25-foot-wide blades.AirportImprovement.comMarch | April 2025'
