Greetings Customers,

As we work to button up items on the runway project, we find it necessary to have another daytime closure. All effort has been made to minimize interruptions to customers as much as possible by having night closures but temperature requirements for a large portion of the work will need sunshine and dry pavement.

With that said, please see the listed notams for your information and planning.

Notam /818
30 OCT 2024,1300Z-2100Z-Work in progress on ramp parallel to TWY.

Notam /819
30 OCT 2024, 2300Z-1 NOV 2024, 1000Z---Airport closed.

During the closure, work will be taking place on the RWY, TWY, Ramp and T-Hangar areas. Please be sure to clear these areas before the appointed time. If you are a tie-down customer and have any questions, please call the airport for information or assistance.

Thanks again for your help and patience.

Respectfully,
Vernon Barnett
