BEAUFORT — With less than two years left to fully complete the project, officials with Michael J. Smith Field Airport hope to soon start taking bids for the reconstruction of around 30 hangars damaged or destroyed by hurricanes Florence and Dorian.
The more $4 million project is being funded largely by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration, or EDA, which set a tight, 33-month timeline for project completion from the time the money was awarded in July 2020. Pat Joyce, chairperson of the Carteret County-Beaufort Airport Authority, said the hope is to begin advertising for bids Sunday.
