Monmouth, Il (WQAD)- According to the Monmouth City Administrator, the cause of the airport fire is still unknown, but the hanger will be rebuilt.
The Monmouth City Administrator says the city is still in the process to demolish the damaged existing hangar, which was damaged in the October 25th fire, and there are still some damaged concrete sections that need to be removed.
The city is looking to get state and federal agency approval for future plans, which could take anywhere from a year to 18 months.
This timeline is not certain, but it’s possible a new hangar could be built, as opposed to replacing the hangar that caught fire on the Eastside.
The city plans to meet with an engineering firm within the next couple of months.
The cause of the fire is still undetermined.
