Harper said the Commission will be establishing a steering committee which will be in charge of the fundraising efforts and what that looks like.
“So people can start to think about what they might like to contribute to such an awesome venture,” she said. “The sooner we put the money in place, the sooner we can put the shovels in the group.”
The heliport is expected to cost about $560,000.
