Mid-Field Redevelopment Project Stage 1 Phase 5 (final) included the removal of old pavement between Runway 16/34 and Taxiway Alpha and was officially completed the week of November 4, 2019. Punch list items relating to drainage are the remaining piece on this project. Funding for this project was accelerated which means that hangar development will be able to occur 1-2 years earlier than previously anticipated. Stage 2 of the Mid-Field Redevelopment Project will be replacing and extending Commander Road into the new redevelopment area and installing the required utility lines along the road. The goal is to have parcel sites ready for developers to easily tie into the road and main utility lines once completed.
Mid-Field Development Request for Proposals
A Request for Proposals (RFP) for the development of the Mid-Field area was posted on November 1, 2019, and closed on February 3, 2020. The selection panel met to discuss the proposals and is continuing to work on a recommendation for development within the Mid-Field development site. The Aviation Department expects a recommendation by this summer.
