NORWICH – County officials have extended a lease agreement with Plane Leather, an FAA approved mobile 145 interior repair shop, to continue operations at the Lt. Warren E. Eaton Airport in Norwich.

The agreement was unanimously adopted by members of the County Board of Supervisors at their regular meeting held earlier this month. The lease, which takes effect July 1, will allow Plane Leather to remain in a hangar at the county-owned airport through June 30, 2019.

Plane Leather previously signed a three-year lease with the county for space which expires at the end of June. But company spokesmen say the business has really taken off since that deal was put into place.
