Supervisors OK Major Growth Plan for Airport
Whiteman Airport in Pacoima could gain a new runway and 100 additional airplane hangars in the next five years under a plan approved Tuesday by Los Angeles County supervisors.
The master plan for the airport also calls for construction of a new terminal and restaurant, a fuel island, an automobile parking lot and spaces for up to 510 more planes on outdoor tie-down spaces and hangars for small planes. There are now 260 hangars.
Over the next 20 years, the improvements would cost $8.9 million, $3.2 million of which could be funded by Federal Aviation Administration grants.
