Granby Airport to seek FAA grant for glide‑path indicators; county approves hangar agreements
Summary
Grand County approved a one‑year Hangar No.2 rental agreement and an assignment of Hangar No.10 lease, and authorized filing an FAA grant application for precision approach/path indicators at Granby Airport; local match estimated at about $3,600 per airport.
Sean Mahorney, Airport Manager, briefed the board on three airport items. First, he presented a one‑year rental letter of agreement for County‑owned Hangar No. 2 between Independent Enterprises LLC and the county; the board approved the rental agreement and authorized the chair to sign documents.
Second, Mahorney described a lease assignment for Hangar No. 10 at Kremmling Airport transferring the existing lease to a new owner under the old lease terms; commissioners approved the assignment.
Third, Mahorney asked the board to approve filing FAA Form 5100‑100 to apply for federal assistance to install precision approach/path indicators (glide‑slope indicators) at Granby Airport. He explained the FAA proposed moving $137,000 in previously budgeted grant funds forward from a 2029 runway lighting project; the total project cost estimate was given at about $170,000 with a net local match in the low thousands. Commissioners approved applying for the FAA grant.
Why it matters: The glide‑path indicators improve approach safety at Granby Airport. The local match is limited relative to project cost, but the approval re‑allocates federal funding timing and requires coordination with FAA and budgeting staff.
Next steps: Staff will file the FAA application and proceed with grant coordination and budget adjustments for the local match and reimbursement process.
