I have a couple of updates in this message, but mainly wanted to send out a reminder that this week (the third Thursday of each month) the Airport Commission will hold their monthly meeting. This month, a particularly interesting item will be on the agenda to help address our future needs for hangar development.

The public is welcome to attend these meetings and we encourage our members to attend as frequently as possible. Here is the full Agenda Packet Information link if you'd like additional information on this subject.

Summary:

Recent hangar development has led to a shortage of shovel-ready land for development. With the likely redevelopment of the Airport-owned T-hangars, the Airport Commission has directed staff and the Planning & Development Subcommittee (PDSC) to work on the creation of an infrastructure plan that will create more improved sites for future hangar development projects. Two sites have been discussed as the best options for near-term development, the area east of the existing T-hangars (Site B from the Hangar Development RFP) and the area north of Runway 6/24 (Site C from the RFP).

Dibble engineering has prepared high-level cost estimate for improving both sites to shovel- ready condition for basic general aviation hangar development. At the May PDSC meeting, the cost estimates were analyzed and the pros and cons of both areas were discussed. The PDSC voted unanimously to recommend the area north of Runway 6/24 (Site C) to the Airport Commission as the location where we should focus our infrastructure planning efforts for new general aviation hangars. Although the infrastructure cost estimates for this site were 30% higher, the area is much larger and can accommodate more hangar development.
