According to Tim Costello, Airport Manager, three (3) miles of fencing around the airport was installed and wrapped up last month. The fencing will secure the airport from unwanted conflicts. The runway must always be clear of objects for aircraft to land or take-off safely. In the past, there have been conflicts such as dirt bikes and animals on the airport, complicating the safe movement of aircraft.
Lastly, but not least, crack sealing of the runway will be taking place shortly. Here in Arizona, cracking of the runway pavement is accelerated due to the intensely hot weather, another good safety precaution for flyers.
Currently, the airport facility has outside aircraft storage, but a big part of the 20-Year Master Plan is to add more hangars in hopes of creating a hugely desirable market of their own.
