Apron Expansion with Drainage Improvements

The project is to be funded by grants from the Arizona Department of Transportation. The sponsor of the project is the City of Tombstone. The Apron Expansion with Drainage Improvements project is intended to extend the current primary apron that is limited on aircraft parking capacity and implement drainage solutions to prevent flooding of the existing and proposed aircraft hangars. The proposed asphalt apron extension will add 12,330 square feet of usable aircraft taxing and parking to the South of the existing asphalt apron. The additional space will allow for three additional aircraft tie-downs that are sized for the critical airport aircraft, a Cessna 172 Skyhawk. Site drainage was a pre-existing issue, uncovered by rain events consistently flooding the existing aircraft hangar building. The airport underwent a Drainage Improvement Study in October of 2021 which identified the off-site flows and proposed a solution for diverting them away from the existing and proposed developments on the southwest side of the airport.
