Parowan considers land purchase for municipal airport
A Parowan City Council special meeting discussed buying land for a municipal airport near Kane Springs Road along the north side of highway 1 northeast of the city. The project requires 160 to 180 acres for two airstrips, with negotiations led by a Chamber of Commerce committee. Landowners named include E. J. Graff, John A. Evans, Alma Stubbs, and Roy Benson. The city may borrow via tax anticipation to fund the land purchase, as it’s not in this year’s budget, with Cedar City providing the loan. The committee includes Councilmen C. on and A. C. Hatchard May Lyman and chairman Burton. The Peace for Parowan office vacancy and personnel shifts were noted.
