During the recent meeting of the Lago Vista Airport Advisory Board, members discussed critical safety and revenue-generating initiatives aimed at enhancing the airport's financial stability. The board emphasized the importance of prioritizing essential safety-related projects before moving on to revenue-generating opportunities, such as the development of hangars and the potential installation of a jet fuel sales tank.

Board member James highlighted the need for proactive measures, referencing past efforts from 2019 and 2020 to approve hangar projects. He noted that by advancing these initiatives, the airport could build a robust financial reserve, which would be crucial when facing significant maintenance costs in the future, estimated at $600,000 locally and $6 million from state funding.

The meeting concluded with no public comments, as no audience members raised their hands to speak, either in person or virtually. The board members expressed gratitude for the community's support and diligence in their efforts. As the meeting wrapped up, the board reaffirmed its commitment to advancing the airport's development and ensuring its long-term sustainability, setting the stage for future discussions on these vital projects.
