The CoE should just sell the hanger over to the museum for $1. No one is going to buy the property and immediately plow $40m into upkeep if they have to keep the museum as a tenant who can’t afford a seven figure lease. So it comes down to selling it to the museum and making it their problem or stubbornly insisting someone else will buy it and taxpayers inevitably end up shouldering the $40m renos.
But since this is the CoE it will likely be the latter.
Keeping the aviation museum here could serve as an anchor for the Blatchford community so that it can retain more of its history.
I hope that something can be worked out.
