At a Transportation Roundtable held at the Branson, MO, city hall, March 31, featuring Senator Kit Bond (R-MO) and MoDOT District Engineer Dale L. Ricks,
USPA Executive Director Jan Hoynacki requested support for the Branson West Airport.
Understanding that the Ozark, MO, airport expansion was no longer a viable project, Hoynacki requested the funds allocated for Ozark be directed to the Branson West Airport. She also identified the great value of smaller community airports, which play a vital role in Missouri’s transportation system, in addition to the larger airports which support commercial aviation. Senator Bond acknowledged their importance since he himself frequently uses the smaller airports throughout the state. He also promised to look into the matter and see what might be possible, in view of the fact that all state transportation funds are greatly in demand.
