Hanger

Person County's acceptance of the offer to lease the new hangar at the Raleigh Regional Airport at Person County, pictured here in 2022, could be in jeopardy as the Board of Commissioners voted to rescind its acceptance of the offer next Monday if the county does not receive the required deposit by then, almost six months after the offer was made.

The Person County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted Monday night to set a deadline for next week to receive a deposit on the potential lease of the new corporate hangar at the Raleigh Regional Airport at Person County.

If the county does not receive the required deposit to begin the state’s upset bid procedure by next Monday, the county’s tentative acceptance of the buyer’s offer will be rescinded, the board voted Monday night.
