The airport expansion project appears to be starting to take shape. A construction trailer and survey stakes can be seen on the northeast side of the airport property. A sign on Thomas Rd. notes the construction vehicle entrance for the project. The current runway will be increased from 3200′ to 5500′. Please be on the lookout for construction vehicles and workers at ALL times ANYWHERE on the runway, taxiways and ramp areas.
