Huerfano County is on the brink of finalizing its Airport Layout Plan (ALP), a crucial step for local aviation development. During the recent Board of County Commissioners meeting, officials confirmed that the ALP is currently under review by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). John Sweeney, the FAA planner overseeing the project, indicated that only one final review remains before the plan can be approved for adoption by the county.

Once the FAA gives the green light, the county will incorporate the ALP into a comprehensive narrative report, marking the completion of this significant document. The next steps involve securing signatures from both the FAA and county officials, followed by the formal adoption of the plan and the closure of the associated grant.

This development is pivotal for Huerfano County, as it lays the groundwork for future aviation projects and improvements. The county is eager to move forward, showcasing recommended developments that will enhance local air travel and infrastructure. As the review process wraps up, officials are optimistic about the positive impact this plan will have on the community.
