Zach, the county airport representative, reviewed the airport capital improvement plan and near-term projects. He said the asphalt on Taxiway Alpha between Alpha 1 and Alpha 2 needs milling and repaving, with design work planned in 2027 using federal and state funds and construction anticipated in 2028.
"In 2027, we're planning on doing a taxiway alpha rehabilitation project between Alpha 1 and Alpha 2," Zach said, and later noted the county expects roughly $666,667 of federal funding in 2028 to support construction. He also described the plan for a fuel‑farm tank removal (temporary closure paperwork, an RFP for tank removal and soil sampling to determine mitigation needs) and said staff will solicit certified contractors and aim for summer 2027 removal if bids and permitting align.
