aircraft hangar with a corrugated steel exterior. The overall<br />
dimensions <strong>of</strong> the building are 160 feet across the front and 80<br />
feet deep; the hangar is constructed on a concrete slab<br />
foundation. This hangar is in good condition.<br />
The interior <strong>of</strong> the terminal building has been recently<br />

The terminal building currently has electrical and telephone service that is provided from <strong>Airport</strong> Road.<br />
<strong>Plan</strong>s are underway to install wireless internet service in the terminal rooms for itinerant pilots, airport<br />
management and for general public use. There are separate water well and septic disposal facilities<br />
serving the terminal hangar. The main terminal was constructed sometime between 1972 and 1976.<br />
North Hangar<br />
The North Hangar is located adjacent to the old terminal<br />
apron (now the bus station) and was formerly leased to<br />
Telford Aviation from 1980 to 2000. Prior to that time,<br />
Air New England leased this hangar to store and maintain<br />
its DeHavilland Twin Otter aircraft when it provided<br />
scheduled passenger air service at WVL.<br />
The North Hangar now serves as the airport maintenance<br />
and snow removal equipment (SRE) storage building.<br />
The hangar is a steel framed building with corrugated<br />
steel siding that is 90 feet across by 60 feet deep on a<br />
concrete slab floor. This hangar is in generally good<br />
condition, however the steel sliding doors have become<br />
very difficult to operate. The north hangar has electric service<br />
from <strong>Airport</strong> Road.<br />
