I can't be certain if the white things are shelters, pained on the ground, or are concrete being added. The Google Earth imagery is not good enough to rule out shelters.

Looking at more recent commercial satellite imagery it does appear that whatever it is is growing.




The large paved area is marked as a ramp/apron for fighters in various documents. You can see it being graded on YouTube:

The hangar is intended to maintain the transports and fighters that will be parked there. The F?Y17 DoD and Air Force construction (C-1) budget documents go into more detail on the hangar and the justification for it.


Notably, on the architectural plans there are no secure spaces nor any humidity control requirements - both would be expected with a secret, stealth aircraft.
