OR: Fulton Takes Airport Manager to Task Over Staff Report
Port of Astoria Commissioner Stephen Fulton has added Airport Manager Gary Kobes to the list of people he claims have a conflict of interest on the Port’s bond measure for improvements at the Astoria Regional Airport.
The Port is asking Clatsop County voters to finance $1.96 million in bonds over three years to develop the infrastructure for Life Flight Network to build a new hangar in a widely recommended spot at the southeastern edge of the airport’s tarmac. The bond would also extend Flightline Drive to a new southern entrance at Airport Lane, while making 6 to 8 acres of adjacent land shovel-ready for future development.
