Preliminary reports place Manila and Dutch John airports on rehabilitation watch; county pursues aeronautics funding
Summary
Staff reported preliminary Division of Aeronautics findings showing Manila between preventative abatement and major rehabilitation and Dutch John likely needing major rehabilitation; county staff said they are close to funding cycles for potential grants.
County staff shared preliminary reports from the Division of Aeronautics about two county airports. A staff member said Manila's airport falls between preventive abatement and major rehabilitation, while "the Dutch John Airport... it's definitely major rehabilitation is needed," and that Dutch John was not yet at reconstruction stage but needed substantial work.
Officials said they are coordinating with the Division of Aeronautics as funding cycles approach and expect callbacks late in the month on whether the airports will be included for funding. No specific grant awards or dollar estimates were presented at the meeting; staff said the next steps are to complete 95% reviews and prepare advertising and applications if funding is available.
