Hangar owners at the Farmville Regional Airport have expressed concerns over the language in updated lease agreements recently sent out by the Town of Farmville. The main issues raised include the requirements for liability coverage on the hangar contents and structures, as well as the process for renewing and renegotiating leases at expiration. The hangar owners argue that the town has no insurable interest in the hangar contents or structures, and they want the lease language updated to reflect their requests.
Why it matters
The Farmville Regional Airport is an important local transportation hub, and the hangar leases are critical to the airport's operations and revenue. The concerns raised by the hangar owners highlight potential tensions between the town government and the private businesses operating at the airport, which could impact the airport's long-term viability if not resolved.
The details
During a recent Farmville Town Council meeting, Morgan Dunnavant and Mangus Weiman, representing the majority of hangar owners and leaseholders, raised several issues with the updated lease agreements. They argued that the liability coverage requirements for the hangar contents and structures were unnecessary, as the town has no insurable interest in those items. They also wanted the lease language to explicitly state the process for renewing and renegotiating leases at expiration, rather than relying on implied information. The town council agreed to update the lease documents to reflect the requested changes and vote on the approval at their next meeting.
- The updated lease agreements were sent out to hangar owners on December 29, 2025 and postmarked on January 8, 2026.
- The concerns were raised during the Farmville Town Council meeting on February 11, 2026.

What they’re saying
“I am representing the majority of the hangar owners and lease holders over at the airport. There are still a few points of contention … in the (new) lease for the hangars.”
— Morgan Dunnavant, Representative of hangar owners (Farmville Herald)
“Why not just write it in there and be done with it? All you have to do is add these words 'renegotiate this lease' or (liability insurance only is needed).”
— Morgan Dunnavant, Representative of hangar owners (Farmville Herald)
“I also own one of the hangars at the airport, which I use to store my aircraft. And I have the same objections as Mr. Dunnavant just presented, so I'm not going to waste anybody's time by repeating those. I just want to let you all know that I second everything (he) said, and I hope that you will take that into consideration and provide us with a new lease that has those minor adjustments so that we can get our new leases signed.”
— Mangus Weiman, Hangar owner and flight instructor (Farmville Herald)
What’s next
The Farmville Town Council agreed to have the lease documents changed to reflect the updates to language additions and to vote on that approval at their next meeting.
The takeaway
The concerns raised by the Farmville Regional Airport hangar owners highlight the need for clear communication and collaboration between the town government and the private businesses operating at the airport. Resolving these issues around lease terms and requirements will be crucial for maintaining a productive relationship and ensuring the long-term viability of the airport as a key local transportation hub.
