Runway rehabilitation and project completed December 12, 2011 with the second coat of striping paint.

The Runway Rehabilitation Project was substantially complete by contractor Mercer-Fraser in November with a new 2-inch asphalt overlay on the active runway. Funding for the project came from a $499,000 grant from Caltrans and more than $50,000 from Resort Improvement District #1. Consultants Mead & Hunt provided the contract documents and inspection services during construction.

The District also paid an extra $30,000 for resurfacing six parking spaces. Three of the spaces were overlaid with 2.5-inches of asphalt and three spaces were overlaid with crushed asphalt grindings taken from the runway transition joints. The grindings were graded, rolled and sealed with emulsion. This work was not part of the grant funded base bid and required 100% funding by District reserves.

Striping and punch-list items are scheduled for December - Check the FSS for NOTAM
