WINTERSVILLE The project to resurface the taxiway at the Geary A. Bates Jefferson County Airpark is one step closer to pavement going down.
Monday, at the monthly meeting of the Jefferson County Airport Authority Board of Directors, bids were received from three potential contractors interested in completing the work.
The bids, all from companies located in Ohio, ranged from $2,680,091 to $2,897,802. Rayland’s Shelly and Sands had the low bid.
All three bids were forwarded to the board’s engineering consultant firm, Michael Baker International, who did the design grant applications for the project.
After the bids were opened, a representative from Michael Baker informed the board the engineer’s estimate for the work was a little more than $3.3 million, so all three bidders came in under the estimate.

WINTERSVILLE The Jefferson County Regional Airport Authority is looking into possible renovations at the building located at 251 Airport Drive that could accommodate Wintersville county court.
According to minutes provided by the airport authority from its Feb. 8 meeting, the topic was raised by board President Brandon Reese, who told members he had a discussion with Judge Michael C. Bednar regarding the potential relocation of the court from its present location at 30 Talbott Drive.
The minutes noted the renovations needed before the court could move into the space could possibly cost as much as $200,000.
The board then discussed whether or not it was feasible to spend that much money to renovate the building to house the court, the minutes said.
