The East General Aviation Apron was constructed in 1987 and is located adjacent to the main terminal building where a variety of aircraft and airline charters utilize the apron as a parking location upon their arrival into Yakima. The apron consists of approximately 30,000 square yards of asphalt and requires rehabilitation in order to meet Federal Aviation Administration safety standards. JUB Engineering, Inc. will assist the airport in coordinating construction crews to rehabilitate the aging asphalt, update aircraft parking locations, install new tiedowns, drainage, and apron lighting.
Ninety percent (90%) of the funds to cover the agreement and rehabilitate the East General Aviation Apron are provided through a grant with the Federal Aviation Administration. The remaining funding match is provided through the airport's Passenger Facility Charge program. This project will not utilize or impact the City's general fund. |
