Monticello officials weigh a modest air facility as State Aero nautics chief Locke proposes a 200 ft by 2 000–3 000 ft grass landing strip with a shelter and telephone. Cost expected at 6 000 to 7 000 dollars with lighting, plus ground protection and maintenance. The project could aid ground observer corps operations and local industry seeking relocation benefits. The plan faces logistical hurdles like policing, mowing, snow removal, and observer access.
