A new, 11-foot wildlife fence will also be installed around the perimeter of the airport. “And that’s important for aviation safety, because we do have a lot of wildlife around the area,” Walker notes. But while there are plans for new construction, rapid growth isn’t the highest priority for the Grant County Regional Airport. Instead, the Airport employees and commissioners are focused on ensuring the best customer experience possible and continuing to be a great community partner. “The message I would want to make sure that we get across is that we offer an Airport that is aviation friendly, in weather and facilities and safety,” Walker says in conclusion. “And the three things that we try and do best are safety, service, and continuous improvement.” PREFERRED VENDORS n Eastern Oregon University https://online.eou.edu “Experience a high-quality online education with EOU’s online degrees and prepare yourself for a diverse, interconnected world.
