Airport OKs contract to build runway pads
Lorain County Regional Airport Authority approved a contract with Ralph Richards Earthmoving to construct two runway pads. The non union firm will pay prevailing wages, said airport director Robert Dancik. The pads aim to reduce congestion by allowing planes to wait off the runways. Board president Carl Nielsen urged members to attend a Russia Township meeting to oppose a rezoning that would allow anhydrous ammonia tanks near the airport, warning of danger if a tank is struck during landing or takeoff. He also urged letters to Congressman Don Pease opposing a higher aviation fuel tax.
