Sheridan County commissioners voted to approve a 10‑year lease with Bighorn Airways Inc. for a hangar at 903 West Frontage Lane during their Dec. 29 staff meeting.
Robert Gill, Sheridan County airport manager, presented the agreement and recommended approval: “I respectfully recommend the Sheridan County Board of County Commissioner to approve” the lease. Gill said the premises will serve as a primary base and storage facility for fixed‑base operator services and described terms including a 10‑year term and a monthly rent of $2,250 with specified inflationary adjustments.
A commissioner moved to approve and a second was recorded; the board voted in favor. The motion passed and the chairman was authorized to sign the agreement.
The board did not record a public discussion of alternate bidders or any amendments to the lease during the meeting. The approval completes the county’s immediate action on the item; the agreement was introduced as agenda item number 3 and was presented by the airport manager.
The county said the tenant, Bighorn Airways, is in good standing. The lease will proceed to signature by the chairman as authorized by the board.
