At the recent Monmouth City Council meeting, three separate engineering agreements were discussed, with one being about the construction of an airport terminal at the Monmouth Municipal Airport, shares Mayor Rod Davies:
“One of them was with Hanson Engineering to help us design and construct and get a document ready to go out to bid for an airport terminal. We have some leftover fire insurance proceeds and as part of the restoring and rebuilding of the airport, we have the terminal built, we have all the aprons and taxiway approaches finished, we have the entrance road repaved, a parking lot, and a water service line out there for fire protection. We received federal funds and state funds in that of 90 percent funding. This is the next phase for bringing our airport back up and making it usable for the pilots that land and also the flying club that have a lot of events there.”
The other two engineering agreements were with Woodard and Curran to address mandates by the Illinois EPA, including studying the safety, availability, and protection of the City’s source water and the viability and sustainability of the critical assets of water distribution and treatment.
