What really sucks is that they're using a federal grant to tear it down --
and applying for a new federal grant to build a new hangar of equal size!
If they wanted to move the old hangar on the airport, it can be done for as
little as $30K (not counting site prep and restoration costs, which could,
admittedly, run several hundred thousand dollars) and they'd have a
perfectly good -- and historic -- hangar.

Apparently grants are available for new hangar construction, but not old
hangar restoration.

Once you get the hangar listed, then all you have to do is write a
grant proposal:

The National Register of Historic Places is the Nation's official
list of cultural resources worthy of preservation. Authorized
under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National
Register is part of a national program to coordinate and support
public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect our
historic and archeological resources. Properties listed in the
Register include districts, sites, buildings, structures, and
objects that are significant in American history, architecture,
archeology, engineering, and culture. The National Register is
administered by the National Park Service, which is part of the
U.S. Department of the Interior.


What are the Listing Criteria?

The National Register's standards for evaluating the significance
of properties were developed to recognize the accomplishments of
all peoples who have made a significant contribution to our
country's history and heritage. The criteria are designed to guide
State and local governments, Federal agencies, and others in
evaluating potential entries in the National Register.



http://www.nationalregisterofhistori...s.com/faq.html
Criteria for Evaluation The quality of significance in American
history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture is
present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects
that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials,
workmanship, feeling, and association, and:

A. That are associated with events that have made a significant
contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or

B. That are associated with the lives of persons significant in
our past; or

C. That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period,
or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master,
or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a
significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack
individual distinction; or

D. That have yielded or may be likely to yield, information
important in prehistory or history.


The process varies from State to State depending on State
workload, planning, and registration priorities, and the schedule
of the review board. The process takes a minimum of 90 days to
fulfill all of the review and notification requirements provided
that a complete and fully documented nomination form has been
completed for the property.

Upon submission to the National Park Service, a decision on
whether to list the property is made within 45 days.
