El Dorado Eyes Airport Expansion To Attract Firms
EL DORADO Kansas has earmarked 85000 to update its airport master plan and attract corporate clients. City assistant Matt Rehder says plan updates will guide FAA grant applications for drainage, runways, taxiways, and aprons with projects identified for 2008 to 2015. A longer 5000 foot runway is sought to accommodate corporate jets and reduce reliance on Wichita’s Jabara. The city may contract a private firm to build and lease T hangars.
