Main Terminal Building

The airport has created two hanger subdivisions. The first has 28 privately owned hangers. The second consists of 16 hanger lots under construction

The airport has a number of assets which may be used for further development:

The Airport Commission has created a Master Plan. A subdivision located on the north side of the airport for a commercial aircraft business/ light industrial park is in the planning stages.
There are facilities for both land and sea planes which allow owners to operate from floats or wheels in warm weather. Seaplanes can be tied down on land for the winter.
Arnprior offers rural quality of life with nearby city conveniences. There is quick access to Ottawa (20 minutes drive to the Corel Centre). This should appeal to aircraft owners looking for reasonable costs while still residing in the nation's capital. It is also attractive for commercial tenants looking for reasonable lease prices, rural quality of life for their employees, and quick access to international transportation.
