Proposed Rexburg Airport Relocation Has Hefty Price Tag
Published at | Updated at(REXBURG, ID) – A proposed relocation of the Rexburg Airport is coming with a hefty price tag. Local News 8 reports that relocating would cost an estimated $39 million.
The current airport has a 420-foot runway, and the city doesn’t have room around it to make it any bigger. Further studies will determine if it’s economically and developmentally feasible to maintain the airport at its current location, which will likely cost considerably less.
Once completed, the independently-contracted studies will be submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration for consideration.
