Associated Painters finishes work on second hangar at Spokane airport
Painting airliners is an expanding business at Spokane-based Associated Painters.
The company, which has been at Spokane International Airport for four years, has just completed work on its second painting hangar.
It's the left building in the photo above.
The expansion will allow the Spokane workforce to grow to 110 employees by next summer, up from 70 today.
The 32,000-square-foot hangar cost roughly $6 million to build. It has one large bay capable of handling a Boeing 757-300 sized aircraft or similar narrow-body planes.
Associated Painters owns the building and has a 30-year land lease with Spokane airports. It should reach full capacity within two years, a company news release said.
