Airport manager moves forward on Taxiway Bravo West amid tight GDOT timeline; airshow to feature Thunderbirds
Summary
Airport Manager John Carroll reported bids on a corporate hangar are under review, said the Air Force Thunderbirds will attend the airshow, and that up to $4 million in funding for Taxiway Bravo West is available but GDOT's bid deadline of July 1 requires prompt action; the committee agreed Carroll should proceed.
John Carroll, Airport Manager, told the committee that bids for a proposed corporate hangar are still under analysis and that the bid package will go to the Airport Committee in March before being forwarded to the Board of Commissioners.
Carroll said preparations for the annual airshow are on track; the Air Force Thunderbirds are scheduled to come from Biloxi and staff expect an expanded fireworks display. He also noted that submissions for an on-airport obstructions project are due March 5.
On Taxiway Bravo West, Carroll said there is potential for $4 million in funding but the project is on a tight schedule because of state deadlines. He briefed the committee on GDOT's July 1 deadline for bids and the committee agreed that Carroll should move forward with next steps to preserve the funding opportunity.
