204 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE NOVEMBER 2020 we’re working on a Phase Two and a Phase Three plan with the FAA to reconstruct the apron and taxiways. We were ready to go this summer, but with the fires happening up here, we decided to postpone till spring and not close down the runway, so the Forest Service and CAL FIRE could stage at our Airport.” He emphasizes, “Right now, people don’t necessarily see what assets we’ve got here. The general fund is propping up the Airport to some degree, and we’ve got a big chunk of the current council that would prefer to shut the Airport down, despite the FAA money we’ve got sunk into it. But an airport that’s in wonderful shape is worth a lot more than one that is run down.” Miller also wants to see the Airport continue to thrive and is hoping that the powers that be will recognize its value to the area. He shares, “We’re a diamond in the rough, and with social unrest, COVID-19, work-away-from-home technology, and real estate dollars that can buy much more here than in the city, discovery of this mountain jewel can be a potential life-changing find.” PREFERRED VENDOR n Castle Rock Water www.castlerockwater.com Castle Rock Water is a superior water, consistently placing in the top five Waters of the World.
