GEO-TECHNICAL DIGGING

There will be some digging to test soils in the SW corner of airport property on Thursday, April 25 and Friday, April 26. This is just inside our fence from the big Michelin and GM buildings SW of us. You may see vehicles and equipment moving around in that area, but it should not interfere with our operations or the Guard access road.


Let me know of questions, and I will update the drone info for NASA testing as it refines. Thanks for all your cooperation as we enter a very busy spring/summer!!
