Airport parking expansion bid allows added spaces; council to submit FAA grant application
Summary
Bids for the Ames airport parking-lot expansion came in low enough to add parking on the north side; the council included submitting an FAA grant application to support the awarded bid.
Mayor John Haila said bids for an airport parking-lot expansion returned low enough that the council was able to include work to add additional parking on the north side of the main lot. The council’s motion also included submitting an application to the Federal Aviation Administration for grant funding tied to the awarded bid.
Haila described the airport as an important entry point for people coming to Ames and said improvements help accommodate business growth and visitors, but the podcast did not provide a bid amount, contractor identity, or the FAA grant application specifics; those details were not specified in the recording.
The podcast did not include a public-comment period on the airport item or a recorded roll-call vote; the motion and grant-submittal decision were reported as part of the consent/agenda actions summarized by the hosts.
