“As far as the air traffic control tower, we are one of 31 airports that are receiving a new air traffic control tower under the 2022 FAA funding bill. We anticipate construction starting in 2026 with a couple of years of construction and fit-out.” “The FAA is working on the preliminary design for the local requirements such as utilities, the footings for the actual tower, based on local conditions and the FAA’s main goal is to make the control tower as environmentally sustainable as possible,” Gross describes. The FAA, Gross explains, is looking at an electric of our taxiway project for next year and we anticipate two more grants in the spring. Construction will start in the spring for the first 1700 feet of the taxiway and drainage rehabilitation.“We will also relocate the localizer next year and then after that we will extend our primary runway by an additional 200 feet.” Gross relays that the following phase of construction will be to complete the parallel taxiway to the south end of the runway and then part four of that project will be to extend the parallel taxiway to the north end of the runway. 227 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 12 LEBANON MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
