Dubuque Regional Airport Master Plan Already Enacted

Work has already begun on a recently completed master plan for the Dubuque Regional Airport, which outlines $152 million in future projects over the next 20 years. The plan, which was given unanimous final approval by Dubuque City Council last week, provides a detailed list of anticipated projects and will be used by airport staff to qualify for future federal funding. Dubuque Regional Airport Director Todd Dalsing said airport staff have already begun preliminary design for one of the projects listed in the plan: the reconstruction of taxiway A, expected to cost about $3.1 million. Of the listed projects, the most significant is a $40 million expansion to construct a new airport apron on a 30-acre property located west of the airport.
