New hanger being built near Butler Memorial Airport

After roughly a year of working with MoDot, the FAA, the City of Butler (multiple departments), several lawyers, the Butler Memorial Airport Commission is proud to announce we have a new tenant at the airport! 

Burns Custom Spraying is building a new facility on the south west side of the airport, just north of the Osage Valley ballfields. We know there have been a lot of questions and rumors going around lately, so here are some answers. 

They are constructing a large hangar to house their spray plane, a ramp where they can load product, two connectors to the taxiway, an access road to Business 49, and a retention pond (DNR requirements). 

Additionally, the ramp will have built in spill prevention/mitigation so no hazardous chemicals can leak downstream. 

Hopefully, everything will be in place by next spring!
Thank you all for your interest.

Butler Memorial Airport Commission.
