Runway Project Delayed by Tornado Water Damage Costs Rise
The runway project, now about a month late from the July 1 target, faced material delays and a May 11 tornado. Water damage forced replacement of 72,000 square feet at an extra 55,000 dollars. City Manager Bil Blackwell approved the extra work, with the city’s share drawn from a 96,000 dollar contingency in a 1.8 million dollar contract. Contingency items did not require council approval. The east-west runway was lengthened, rebuilt, and strengthened to handle specific aircraft. The runway extends about 1,500 feet toward a fixed point.
