The Winnemucca Municipal Airport

THE WINNEMUCCA MUNI C I PAL A I RPORT big project and, so far, that expansion hasn’t been necessary. But if a company wanted to locate here, or if we had a lot of interest in landing much larger aircraft, that’s a project we could move forward with fairly quickly.” Heiser reports that the Airport works with the Northeastern Nevada Development Authority to market the city-owned industrial park, which is adjacent to the airfield. Some of the park’s current tenants include: CarWil, a manufacturing company that creates components for the mines; Carry-On Trailer, a trailer manufacturer; and Loon, which launches the balloons that provide internet and cell service to places that don’t have it. “And if a company was located in the industrial park that needed access to the airfield, it wouldn’t take much development to get them that access,” Heiser shares. “The City of Winnemucca and Humboldt County work very well together, so if any business wanted to come here, we’re open to any and all ideas. And we act quickly when a business needs something specific. The Airport is in very good condition; we take our inspections seriously, we take advantage of FAA funding, and we’re always expanding.”
