| upgraded and expanded runways, taxiways, and aprons, and a new, | ||

| increased the weight-bearing capacity of a runway to handle | ||
| larger aircraft; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Local officials, airport management, and area | ||
| residents recognize the important economic contributions that | ||
| the airport brings to the community, and the recent improvements | ||
