The Richfield City Council approved plans to move ahead with the final components of its airport upgrade and expansion. A new building is designed to house snow removal equipment and the airport’s new terminal. It represents the final big-ticket item for the airport expansion project, but fencing along some areas of the airport, as well as concrete that will tie the new terminal and parking areas together need to be completed. The estimated cost of the final piece of construction is some $103,000.
The FAA pays just over 90 percent on these projects with money matched by the Utah Department of Transportation, Richfield City’s obligation to complete the concrete project would be some $5,000.
The council voted to approve the project. One caveat on the project is that the Federal Aviation Administration funds are not yet secured, but the project can move forward once they are available. Richfield Reaper
