Broadmoor Hanger expansion/development:
Discussions continue with potential
modernization of BH.
Will spend up to $95K this year for the
charrette which will result in a project and funding document for 2020/2021
budget.
Regardless of who ends up being located in the
BH, it will need to be brought up to code which will include a sprinkler system
and other modifications. USSPACECOM or
other agencies may require some space within the BH. Yet to be determined.
