NOW THAT SUMMER IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER WE WILL UPDATE REGARDING CONSTRUCTION PLANS AND SEVERAL SAFETY REMINDERS

CONSTRUCTION - WE ARE PLANNING THE FOLLOWING PROJECTS THIS SUMMER

1. EXTEND TAXIWAY "C" (BEHIND CITY OWNED SINGLE PLANE HANGARS) FROM NORTH END CONNECTING TO GATE NEXT TO OUR ELECTRICAL BUILDING. AFTER
   COMPLETION WE HAVE ADDITIONAL SINGLE/MULTI PLANE HANGAR SITES.
2. REPLACE EXISTING MEDIUM INTENSITY LIGHTING FOR RUNWAY 01/19 WITH HIGH INTENSITY LIGHTING. BIDS FOR THIS PROJECT WILL BE OPENED IN MAY AND CONSTRUCTION BEGINNING IN JULY. SOME MINOR IMPACT ON OPERATIONS ARE EXPECTED.
3. EXPAND TERMINAL BUILDING. THIS PROJECT MORE THAN LIKELY WILL BEGIN IN LATE SUMMER AND CONTINUE THRU THE WINTER. IMPACT WILL INCLUDE LIMITED AUTO PARKING AND CLOSURE OF TAXIWAY "B" AS IT CONNECTS WITH RAMP. ACCESS TO G. A. HANGARS WILL NOT BE RESTRICTED.
4. REPAINTING RUNWAY 01/19. THE DATE IS UNKNOWN BUT WORK WILL OCCUR THIS
   SUMMER. THE RUNWAY WILL BE CLOSED FOR A FEW HOURS DURING WORK.
5. SEAL COATING RUNWAY 13/31 WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED THIS SUMMER. EXPECT A TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF THAT RUNWAY HOW EVER 01/19 WILL NOT BE AFFECTED.
6. PLANNING IS UNDERWAY TO INSTALL SELF-SERVE AV-GAS DISPENSING EQUIPMENT.  WE ARE HOPEFUL OF INSTALLING EQUIPMENT THIS YEAR HOWEVER WE ARE STILL WORKING ON FUNDING.
