Notes from the meeting at the Stead Airport,
March 16.
Scott Gordon, Airport Manager lead off by
explaining that since 2011 the airport had to be
financially self sufficient. In 2014 they selected
Dermody Properties to develop a minimum of 1,700
acres in phased development. Dermody leases land
from the Airport which continues to own it. To begin
the project, 56 acres will be developed. The north
end of Moya Blvd. will be the entrance to the new
business area. 2 buildings will be built one on
either side of Moya just past the entrance. No
tenants are identified at this time.
Responding to questions, Mr. Gordon stated:
• The first 56 acres will not impact the
Air Races.
• A 300 ft buffer around the edge of the
airport will lower noise.
• A height cap on the buildings will be
based on FAA rules.
• Water will be supplied by TMWA.
• They will be building more hangers west
end of the east-west runway.
• They will no longer be giving out keys to
the Silver Knolls Blvd. gate.
• They are having trouble getting
materials. No current construction timeline. Maybe
18 to 24 months.
• The National Guard complex will be
constructing more parking toward the west from the
current buildings.
In addition, an attendee
pleaded for considering training for young people:
in aviation and mechanics positions, and possibly a
flight school.
Scott
Gordon, the Stead Airport Manager, will answer your
questions. Email him at sgordon@renoairport.com
His phone is 775-690-3319.
