As discussed in the previous chapter,
Runway 17-35 is recommended to be
upgraded to meet ARC C/D-II
standards. The airport was initially
developed and maintained as an ARC
B-II airport. Business jet activity
increases now exceed the critical

aircraft threshold. Thus, the airport
must now conform to ARC C/D-II design
standards. The most significant change
will be improving the runway safety
area to meet the increased design
standards.
