Included in the Airport's Capital Improvement Program is the Sanitary Sewer Project for the new West End Hangar Site.  The Airport is running out of locations to lease and construct large hangars, and desires to develop a new hangar area for larger hangars on the west end of the Airport.  This project will install approximately 2,000 feet of sanitary sewer line to provide sewer services to future hangars in the new hangar development area on the west end of the Airport.  This work will be constructed in conjunction with the Taxilane West Construction Project, but is not eligible for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP) entitlement grant funding, so it will be funded with local capital dollars.
