A company that provides ground support for private planes recently won preliminary approval for tax breaks from Suffolk County for the construction a new hangar at Francis S. Gabreski Airport in Westhampton Beach.
Representatives of Modern Aviation outlined the company’s $15.5 million project during a Dec. 14 presentation before Suffolk County Industrial Development Agency board members voted unanimously on preliminary approval for a $755,378 sales tax abatement.
The IDA will hold a public hearing in January before the board considers granting final approval.
