North Battleford city council has passed a resolution for the city’s portion of the airport runway at Cameron McIntosh Airport.
The grant application would be to the Community Airport Partnership program for $550,000 for pavement rehabilitation of the airport runway. The City would be on the hook for $275,000 and the province would pick up the other half.
The main runway restoration is to happen over the next four years at an estimated $2,073,000. The proposal of administration is to apply 75 millimetres of asphalt on the middle 75 feet of runway for 2,500 feet for 2016, with the other work happening in each of the next three years.
The airport rehabilitation work is included in the City’s five year capital plan.
The resolution passed unanimously, clearing the way for the application to be made to the CAP program by March 31.
