Gera Board Retreat Meeting

The board retreat focused on the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for fiscal years 2026 through 2031. Key discussions included the current status of ongoing infrastructure projects, such as land acquisition, terminal building and apron construction, and taxiway rehabilitation. The board evaluated future projects, including the construction of new taxi lanes, the need for new facilities maintenance buildings, and the development of an additional airport access road. Operational topics, such as hangar waitlists, wildlife reports, and potential funding sources like FAA grants and congressionally directed spending, were also reviewed.
