Summary

County staff and RPA Inc. representatives discussed airport expansion needs and a potential acre-for-acre land swap with landowner Tyler Murnion; RPA will determine whether appraisals or surveys are required.

Garfield County commissioners discussed airport land acquisition and a potential expansion plan at their Feb. 11 meeting.

Tyler Murnion and representatives from RPA Inc., including Matthew Wilder and Lance Bowser, met with commissioners to outline the acreage needed for the airport expansion. The participants explored an acre-for-acre land swap that would grant the airport the required property while leaving Murnion with equivalent acreage elsewhere. RPA Inc. agreed to look into whether appraisals or land surveys will be necessary before the county proceeds.

The discussion did not include a formal motion or vote. Commissioners directed RPA and county staff to follow up on appraisal and survey needs before returning with a formal proposal.
