The Airport Commission last week approved a cleaner design that depicts a jet flying over a green mountainscape. It is a far cry from the former branding, which had more than 10 saturated colors.
The Airport Commission voted to re-release the request for proposals (RFP) for the airport restaurant space but only after the city formed a new and improved document.
The city purchased the dilapidated hangar with hopes of restoring it, but the pandemic has delayed the project with material shortages and rising costs.
In 2022, the commissioners voted to go forward with the renovation of the derelict hangar, purchased by the city. The project would tap a mix of state, federal, and local funds.
Engineer Peter Enzien gave his report to the commission Tuesday and noted that the hangar project will be a little more costly than originally anticipated with a new estimate of $642,000.
