The Fayette City Council unanimously approved a motion at its May 12 meeting to proceed with the design phase to ultimately resurface the airport apron at Richard Arthur Field. Councilman Jason Cowart was absent from the meeting, with all other council members in attendance. Natalie Hobbs, senior airport engineer with Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood, told the council that the Airport Improvement Grant available this year for the project would be 100 percent funded due to the provisions of the recently passed Cares Act. The projected costs for the design phase of the project is approximately $130,000. Kip Madison, airport manager for Richard Arthur Field in Fayette, said that his conversations with Federal Aviation Administration officials and Alabama Department of Transportation officials reinforced his thoughts that the apron project is a priority for the airport.
