<br />These airrúrt iITprov~€nts, along with the dynamic growth occurri~g in <br />tlie h..:stin/San ~:arcos/San Antonio corridor IT'ake the need for adequate, <br />safe, and sufficient airport facilities more critical with each passing <br />rronth. As airport use continues to grow, expansion of aviation <br />facilities is absolutely essential. <br /> <br />Based upon the Master Plan prepared earlier and the current operating <br />characteristics at the airport, it is imperative that additional <br />property within the terminal area location becare available. '!he Job <br />Corps facilities identified, while a nominal asset to the Department of <br />LaJ.::or, could be put to better public use if they were conveyed to the <br />City of San ~arcos. <br /> <br />'l11ere is not other sui table land that could be developed as eoonanical- <br />ly or efficiently as the Job Corps land requested. Recently, ap- <br />proximately 120 acres of land previously identified for industrial use <br />was re-classified to flood plain, thus making land for airport develop- <br />ment even more critical than before. <br /> <br />The City of San l-Brcos is prepared to begin developing that land in <br />aviation and aviation-related facilities as soon as the land is <br />conveyed. The City is receiving an increasing nmnber of inquiries fran <br />interested corporations and developers who would be able to provide the <br />necessary financial and technical resources to develop the pr~. <br /> <br />Additional property is needed in the in1neðiate future, not later than <br />the summer of 1988. It is possible the Job Corps could continue to use <br />facilities until the area is needed for aeronautical purposes. <br />The following projects are recently canpleted, are underway, or have <br />applications for aid pending under the Airport Improvement Program <br />(AlP). Those marked with an asterisk will be locally funded: <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />Reconstruction of ILS RurMay 12-30. <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />Replacement of shattered slábs and overlay portion of <br />apron. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />Construction of new parallel taxiway for Runway 12-30. <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />Construction of a new general aviation terminal <br />building. * <br /> <br />5. <br /> <br />Reconstruction of Runway 8-26. <br /> <br />6. <br /> <br />Auto parking lot and miscellaneous drainage improve- <br />ments.* <br /> <br />7. <br /> <br />Relocation of airport access rœd. <br />
