When I was a kid, I loved airplanes. I especially liked the P51 Mustang. Dad was an aerospace engineer at Boeing and on the weekends, he would do freelance work.

The tech giant is spending almost $12.5 million to buy acreage acquired by the Chelan Douglas Port Authority.

The 1960s-era building on the east side of the airport is getting a major face lift to be the terminal that handles private small plane and jet traffic.

The electricity receptacles were supposed to be upgraded when the airport terminal apron was rebuilt but a design error left electricity insufficient.

The Port is in the process of choosing a consulting firm to develop a strategic plan.

The subject was brought up during the public comment period by architect and Cashmere City Council Member Chris Carlson.

A decision had been made months ago to make the move out of Rivercom's current home inside the Wenatchee Police Department building on Mission Street.

The commissioners say the move will not require voter approval and contend it would only be legitimate if approved by voters in both counties.

Port commissioners have signed off on a required covenant on the property to access the grant from the Economic Development Administration, also known as the EDA.

Design work should be completed by June of 2023, with construction scheduled between September 2023 through June of 2024.
