Grant County Regional Airport

Ferguson can remember being a kid in the late 1950s before the Airport was built. Pilots used to land by a river until the mid-1960s. The airport, also known as Ogilvie Field, started with just a basic, north/south runway. The east/ west runway was built in the 1970s. A GPS instrument approach with 600 foot minimums is supplemented by a fully-automated weather observation system (AWOS III). The lighting system uses variable intensity runway lights and high intensity strobes. A new, environmentally-sound terminal was built in 2010, with two conference rooms available to rent for presentations and events. They were designed for flexible seating arrangements and have the technological infrastructure to meet the needs of almost any group or meeting, including overhead audio visual equipment and multiple in-floor IT terminals. An adjoining kitchen is available for banquets and luncheon meetings. The main lobby draws on the rugged outdoor aesthetic of Eastern Oregon, with a stone fireplace, comfortable seating, and two flat- screen televisions. The observation deck, located on the third floor above the main entrance, offers a full, 360-degree view of the entire Airport complex and the spectacular landscape beyond its boundaries. The Airport, itself, now encompasses approximately 335 acres with plenty of room around that perimeter should expansion become necessary. Grant County owns and operates the Airport, but the terminal is owned jointly by the county and the U.S. Forest Service. There are three county employees, plus one intern for about 10 weeks in the summer, and at least 20 U.S. Forest Service employees, as well. The Airport terminal is staffed eight hours a day, six days a week in the winter, and 12 hours a day, seven days a week in the summer. The Airport is never closed, except for snow plowing. It is the only public airport in Grant County, Oregon, with fuel (JetA and Avgas). The facility has 16 private hangars and one county hangar.
