Pittsburgh airport making way for offices, new hangars

The Allegheny County Airport Authority will spend about $1 million to prepare a 15-acre property for development, officials said this morning.

The work will include removing the last remaining portion of the former Greater Pittsburgh International Airport terminal's foundation, said authority development director Randy Forister.

The Moon terminal closed after Pittsburgh International Airport opened in neighboring Findlay in 1992.

Utility lines also will be moved on the site near Airside Business Park, Forister said. Work will start in July or August and be done this fall, he said.

Forister expects the site to become home to an office building and three new hangars.

The authority will use a $750,000 state loan and $250,000 state grant to pay for the work.
