COLES COUNTY, Ill. (WCIA) — The Coles County Memorial Airport will soon have a new airplane hangar. It’s to keep up with the growth of one Central Illinois based business.

Officials said the multi-billion dollar company continues to grow, which means they’re constantly hiring people to keep up with demand.

Airport manager Andrew Fearn said Rural King staff members fly in about two to three times a week. Right now, the company has been flying to Decatur because the current hangar near Mattoon doesn’t fit their new jet.

But, Fearn said they’ve been doing business with them for several years and getting them back in their city is important.

“That’s more business for us. With their promotion of Emerald Acres, we’ve seen an increase in traffic and we’ll see more with their aircraft coming in. They continually have people that sell them products come in and out all the time. It’s great to have them based here,” Fearn said.

He said the new hangar will be two times bigger than the current one. It’ll have office space and rooms for the pilots to sleep and work in house when needed. Fearn also said they’ll most likely be breaking ground within the next month and they’re hoping the project will be finished in a year.
