City weighs extending Municipal Airport runway upgrade
City officials study extending the main runway by 2000 feet at Municipal Airport to attract better service and federal funds. A survey of industries and colleges will be done, with Piedmont Airlines to discuss increased service and a July deadline for federal grant applications. Estimated cost is $750,000, with 50 percent federal funding and state aid requested. A longer runway could allow jet landings and avoid costly clear zones, while a control tower remains contingent on higher annual itinerant operations.
