New Fire Station and Police Substation
The new fire station project (being built between Hangar A and Hangar B)
You should see construction activities begin again in November with anticipated completed in January 2026.
As a reminder, the roadway to gate 5, next to Hangar A will be blocked off durring the Fire Station construction project. Alternate access has been provided for employees only. Visitors and flight school students should park in the regular FBO terminal parking lot or the overflow lot on Aviation Blvd.
As always, please be mindful of the construction activities and follow the directions of construction personnel if, and when, there are lane restrictions on Aviation Blvd adjacent to the project site.
North Apron Roadway Project
In 2026 the airport will begin the north airport roadway project which will extend Aviation blvd, past Hangar H to the hangar development site adjacent to the new north apron area. Construction activities will take place mostly on the landside area but there will be some days when construction vehicles will need to access the site from non-movement ramp (entering at Gate 6)
Fuel Farm Expansion Project
This project consists of adding a new 20,000-gallon Jet A tank to the airport fuel farm, modernizing the electronic tank monitoring equipment, and widening the fuel farm entrance gate to accommodate large trucks. The project began in Fall of 2024 but is currently on hold until the new tank is constructed and delivered to the airport which is anticipated to occur in January 2025.
Airport Master Plan Update Project
The Airport is working with the FAA to update the Airport Master Plan. With the increasing airline activity, general aviation flight training, high demand for hangar space, upcoming runway widening, and other growth we have seen in the region there is a need to relook at our existing facilities and activity forecasts and see what impacts the airport has and what facilities will be needed to meet the future aviation demands. An updated Airport Layout Plan and prioritized project list will also come out of this process. A Master Plan is a formal process that seeks input from all airport stakeholders and community members. It typically takes around 18 months to complete. The airport will be looking to hire an experienced consultant to help us through this process which we anticipate beginning in early 2025.
Virtual Tower Demonstration Project
This project that was annouced in the Spring of 2022 is in the planning and design, and approval phase. A camera tower will be constructed west of the existing terminal building and a control building will be constructed to the south of the existing general aviation terminal building. This project is currently on hold as the FAA continues research this technology prior to allowing is implementation at US Airports.
