Colorado Springs Airport has purchased a 10-acre parcel of land from Colorado Springs School District 11. The land is east of COS on Peterson Air Force Base.
The airport is working with the base to possibly use the land to meet the needs of the installation and help maintain compatibility with airport operations.
âWe are very grateful for the partnership COS has with Colorado Springs School District 11 and the future possibilities of this land,â COS Director of Aviation Greg Phillips said.
The land was originally dedicated to District 11 with the intended purpose of building a school. This was before 1993, when the new Colorado Springs Airport was built.
