Airport manager says FAA approved mixed-use use for east-side building; prospective developer discussions expected
Summary
Airport manager reported receiving FAA approval to use part of an east-side airport building for a bar/restaurant and short-term accommodations; a meeting with a prospective developer is planned.
Airport management reported receiving a Federal Aviation Administration approval letter to allow part of an east-side airport building to operate as a mixed-use space including a bar/restaurant, short-term accommodations, a banquet hall and office space.
John, the airport manager (name not fully specified in the meeting record), said the FAA approval letter arrived last week after nearly two years of work to secure the change. “I finally got the approval letter for the use to be used for a bar restaurant in that part of the building,” he said. He added that the space is proposed as a mixed-use development including short-term accommodations and banquet/office uses.
Commissioners said they would meet with a prospective developer soon; no developer name or contract terms were disclosed in the meeting transcript. One commissioner cautioned that the more difficult work would begin after the approval as staff and potential developers work out details.
The commission recorded the FAA approval as an administrative milestone. No formal vote was taken on a developer agreement or lease in the meeting record; commissioners said further meetings with the prospective developer would be required.
