The city owns 150 acres of land around the airport, that is
available for industrial development. Utilities are
already at the site.
We have applied for a 1000 foot extension to be added to the
runway. This would make it possible for any aircraft to
land here. We have updated the airport and moved hangars
to improve taxiway. We have new gasoline pump
facilities and new lights. The airport now has new Pilot
Controlled Lights and Precision Approach Path Indicator Lights
(PAPI). These will allow a pilot to tell if he is too high
or too low. We also have a new Non-Directional Beacon
(NDB), which allows a pilot to set the beacon frequency of 375
in his plane's auto-pilot and be able to locate the airport
automatically.
The city
built a
new apron
and
constructed
a new
T-hangar
that will
house
four
airplanes. A private
individual
built a
$75,000
hangar on
the new
apron
that will
house any
kind of
large
aircraft.
