The Butler Airport
Commission says they have a new tenant.
After roughly a year of working with MoDot, the
FAA, multiple departments within the City of Butler, and several lawyers, the
Butler Memorial Airport Commission is proud to announce they have a new tenant at the airport! Burns
Custom Spraying is building a new facility on the south west side of the
airport, just north of the Osage Valley ballfields.
The Airport Commission knows there have been a
lot of questions and rumors going around lately, so here are some answers.
Burns Custom Spraying is constructing a large
hangar to house their spray plane, a ramp where they can load product, two
connectors to the taxiway, an access road to Business 49, and a retention pond.
Additionally, the ramp will have built in spill prevention/mitigation so no
hazardous chemicals can leak downstream.
They are hoping that everything will be in place by next spring.
