Michigan’s Governor Granholm approved $5M in state funding to assist with the construction of a new hangar at the former Wurtsmith Air Force Base near Oscoda on Monday. The hangar will be large enough to house 747s, enabling Kalitta Air, a Ypsilanti-based jet cargo carrier, to add 200 technicians to the 570 current employees at Oscoda-Wurtsmith. Work on 747s had previously been done in Asia.
