The project was born from a need for more space for the airport’s CRJ-200 aircraft–which had an existing hangar only large enough to accommodate one aircraft at a time. This meant that mechanics tasked with troubleshooting issues, pilots, and workers loading cargo would all have to do so in an environment totally exposed to the elements if assigned the CRJ-200 docking outside. And considering that Minnesota weather can, at times, drop to a staggering -30 degrees, legislators like Senators Amy Klobuchar, Tina Smith, and state legislators are definitely in support of this, as all of these projects have been secured and funded with approximately $26.5 million in federal grants.
