Mercer Airport lighting contract tied to county plans
The Mercer Airport will be lit this year after the County Court signs the lighting contract with low bidder John M. Murphy of Roanoke. A supplemental grant from the CAA brings total funding to about 22 000 dollars with nearly 17 000 dollars for the bid and the rest for engineering and supervision. The project adds beacon, wind cone, segmented circle, runway and taxiway lighting and brush cutting around the field as U S Coast and Geodetic Survey crews relocate elevations.
