Greeley-Weld County Airport

for building hangars. It was a hybrid lease for the company to set up a solar farm. The airport also receives energy from them at a reduced subscriber rate, so it ends up being a win-win situation. The Greeley-Weld Airport has many benefits, both economically and from an aeronautics point of view. There are two main runways that run north/south and east/west allowing for takeoff and landing whichever way the Colorado winds are buffeting. The longer runway, at 10,000 feet, has an instrument landing approach (ILS), and all runways have a GPS approach. The airport is not subject to any controlled airspace, so departure times and turnaround are very quick for those picking up IFR clearances. The airport also benefits from its geographic location in that it usually totals less weather disruptions than the rest of the front range. According to Anderson, “If you are thinking of bringing your business or building a personal hangar out here, the main incentive is that we have one of the lowest lease rates, as close as we are to the Denver Metro area and the I-25 corridor. So this is the best of both worlds, you’re close to the Northern Colorado and Denver metro areas and you have an affordable place to build. With the front range expanding, we expect to see an influx of new building and invite anyone interested to come see us.” Anderson believes his airport is the best choice, adding, “We have great infrastructure and really, in my opinion, the best operational capabilities out here for your everyday flyer right through to your large corporate operation. Greeley-Weld County Airport offers the best of everything with good access to the Metropolitan areas. It is that combination that makes us a success.” PREFERRED VENDOR/ PARTNER n Hangar 1, Inc. https://hangar1aviation.com/ Courtesy of Shahn Sederberg Courtesy of Shahn Sederberg
