Update On The New Airport At Bowman, North Dakota; Far Southwest Corner Of The State

KNXET is reporting:

The new airport is under construction and is four miles east of Bowman.

Dirt work on the $15 million project finished a couple weeks ago, the next step is for surfacing and electrical work.

The new airport is expected to be complete in 2015. 

That's been a big positive in our community. We have a lot of interest in flying. We have had more new students. Six new private pilots in last two years. Who knows maybe new airport is part of that," says Morland.

Kyle Wanner with the North Dakota Aeronautics Commission says there has been no other project like this in North Dakota in decades.
