Franklin County Commissioner Robert Swainston advised the Preston City Council on April 12 that a bid to improve the airportâs runway was opened the week before, allowing efforts to obtain funding to proceed.
The $3.6 million bid was submitted by Parsons and was half of what the commissioners expected, but was competitive with two other bids that were received. Work will commence once funding is secured, which is expected in June, said Swainston. It will be completed this summer, said city councilman Terry Larsen.
Once construction starts, it is expected to be completed in 90 days, during which time the Preston airport will be closed, said John Kezele of the airport board.
