Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport Improvements Get a Conceptual Design

One thing is for certain: Officials agree the Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport needs an overhaul to address modern security standards, to replace antiquated mechanical systems and to improve a key entry point to the valley. 

The question of how much to tackle and where to begin was largely answered in a full concept design review between Gunnison County commissioners, airport officials and architectural firm M. Arthur Gensler, Jr. & Associates during a work session on December 17, and the first priority is electrical and mechanical system replacements.
