Comment sought on airport

Another expansion meeting will be held Tuesday

The La Plata County Commissioners are holding a public meeting Tuesday on the potential expansion of the Durango-La Plata County Airport.

City councilors and county commissioners postponed picking an option to further research and gather more public input.

Some elected officials expressed support for a plan to move the $85 million airport terminal to the east side of the runway.

Officials also considered a plan to remodel the existing terminal for $83 million in the first phase.

Another option would be to build a new terminal next to the existing one for $79 million in the first phase.

City councilors held an evening meeting to gather public comments last week.

The meeting will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Tuesday at the La Plata County Courthouse.
