The South Central Regional Airport Agency met this week to discuss the latest surrounded a proposed regional airport.
Pella City Administrator Mike Nardini says that an environmental survey of the proposed site is ongoing. He says in order to receive funds and approval from the Federal Aviation Administration, a number of surveys have had to be completed. He says the next step will be to hold public forums later this year. The agency meets regularly to review the process of replacing the Pella and Oskaloosa airports with a regional facility in Mahaska County.
