HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93009_1410David Currier, Statesville Director of Planning and
Development, advised that the State of North Carolina had approved
a State Aid to Airports grant for the Statesville Municipal Airport
in the FY 1996 Transportation Improvement Program. The grant is
based on a 508 state/508 local share in the total amount of
$30,000. The State will provide $15,000. The Statesville Airport
Commission requests that Iredell County fund the project at $7,500
since the City of Statesville has consented to providing $7,500.
Currier said the ALP was a tangible plan for capital projects and
not for maintenance operations.
Commissioner Boone asked if the airport commission felt it
could operate satisfactorily with one runway. Parks said Mr.
Mazlek, of DOT, was asked the same question. The study previously
mentioned investigated crosswind coefficients, and DOT has a
formula it uses to determine how many runways are needed. DOT has
responded that one runway satisfied the formula as to the general
public and corporate use.
Pertaining to the plan to extend the east/west runway to the
east and the relocation of Airport Road, Commissioner Boone asked
about the cost estimate, and how much Iredell County would be asked
to fund. Parks said this was a long-range plan. Land acquisition
would be involved as well as relocation of the road.
Commissioner Stewart asked about the acquisition of the
property, specifically, would eminent domain be involved. In
reference to the extension of the runway, Parks said there was no
acquisition in what the airport commission currently plans to do.
(The property is already owned.) Pertaining to runway extension
(long-range plan) the land would need to be acquired. Parks said
condemnation had been used in the past.
