Monroe seeks start for municipal airport next fall
State Aeronautics Commission director Thomas K. Jordan told Monroe officials the proposed airport should be in operation by fall. Final steps to obtain land east of Monroe are underway and construction is expected to begin in spring. City Attorney William Schmitz said the Rufis have a 20 day window to contest after the jurisdictional offer was not accepted. Condemnation action for the airport site had been launched when the state filed notice of necessity in December. Other offers for Fred and Frieda Weiss and Ralph and Mary Etta Shaffer will be filed later.
