7 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 4 an expansion of the current Snow Removal Equipment facility (SRE) to house the growing fleet of Snow Removal Equipment. Vera adds, “We also plan to finalize design and engineering of our new terminal building by the end of 2024. In 2025, we would like to start doing some pavement rehabilitation for our crosswind runway 4/22 and in 2026 we are hopeful to start the construction of the new terminal which will be phased out to minimize impacts to air service operations. In addition to the terminal construction, we would like to begin efforts in the design and engineering to expand our existing Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) facility. This will secure growth to our ARFF department and house new future fire apparatuses. Finally, by 2027 we hope to secure discretionary funding for a full reconstruction of our crosswind runway 4/22 and finish with the construction of the terminal building.” There is much to be excited about as YKM looks to the future!
