Board approves off-runway vehicle testing permit at county airport

Alger County Board · January 13, 2026

Summary

The board approved a permit to allow vehicle testing near the county airport surface (off active runways), describing the arrangement as a donation rather than a fixed fee and noting organizers will operate off the runways for safety and noise considerations.

Board members discussed and approved a permit to allow off-runway vehicle/equipment testing at the county airport. Committee members explained the testing is planned for an area adjacent to the runway, not on the active runways, and organizers provided insurance documentation. The board voted in favor by voice vote; during that exchange a member clarified "It's a donation. It's gonna be a donation. They don't we don't know until we get it." The board emphasized safety measures and that the organizers prefer a secluded location for testing.
