Eppley to Build East Side General Aviation Complex
The Omaha Airport Authority will use 1.3 million in federal funds plus 100,000 from the state to develop a 60 acre east side general aviation complex at Eppley Airfield. Ground work costs 2.8 million with 430,000 in FAA development aid and remaining from the authority. Ronald Grear notes private aviation firms may relocate to the east side, freeing space for carrier growth and reducing mixing of small and large planes. Groundwork may start with a contract possible by November and operations not expected for four or five years.
