Redevelopment Program
During 2008-2012, the airport is undergoing major renovation. Pyott Road to the east has been relocated to create an improved Runway Safety Area. A new parallel taxiway is now under construction that will be capable of operating as a temporary runway. The existing runway will be doubled in width to 100 feet (30 m). A larger primary aircraft parking apron and new general aviation terminal will be constructed. Improvements wil also be made to drainage, utilities and support facilities. Because of continued success in advancing this safety improvement program, the airport was named 2010 Reliever Airport of the Year in Illinois by the Illinois Division of Aeronautics.

Famous quotes containing the word program:
“In 1862 the congregation of the church forwarded the church bell to General Beauregard to be melted into cannon, “hoping that its gentle tones, that have so often called us to the House of God, may be transmuted into war’s resounding rhyme to repel the ruthless invader from the beautiful land God, in his goodness, has given us.””
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
