Mud Lake officials seek $58,000 match for runway resurfacing grant
Summary
The Mud Lake mayor and airport manager asked the Board for local matching funds of roughly $58,000 to complement an Idaho Transportation Department grant for runway resurfacing; the Board requested more grant documentation before deciding.
Mayor Sherri Locasio and airport manager Brandon Bisser presented a request that Jefferson County consider a local match for a runway resurfacing project at Mud Lake Airport.
They said the airport secured an Idaho Transportation Department grant but that the award requires a county match estimated at approximately $58,000. County Road and Bridge foreman Mike Carter said preliminary cost estimates suggest total project costs could exceed initial expectations. The Board requested additional grant documentation and agreed to continue evaluating the request rather than committing funds at the May 26 meeting.
Why it matters: a resurfaced runway is necessary to maintain airport operations; the county's decision on matching funds could determine whether the project proceeds this construction season.
Next steps: airport officials will provide further documentation for the Board to review before the Board considers any appropriation for the match.
