RUNWAY CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY AT COUNTY AIRPORT
Construction continues at our Licking County Regional Airport in Heath. Using a Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration the 45-hundred foot runway is being completely rebuilt and paved, with the addition of improved drainage as well. This runway rebuild is a $1-million project to be completed by the second week in June. The Regional Airport is basically closed during this construction period.
This local general aviation airport, on Heath Road, is an economic development asset with some 70-aircraft based there, and some 10-thousand takeoffs and landings annually including use by dozens of local companies. Plans are underway to add hangar space in the next year, and continue reconstruction of the parallel taxiway.
