The closure of the airport for a few days following the February ice storm was a topic of discussion among other business items at Tuesday’s Wood County Airport Authority meeting.
An ice storm hit the Mid-Ohio Valley during the week of Feb. 14, which impacted airport business.
To use chemicals to get rid of the ice, Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport manager Glen Kelly said it would cost over $50,000 for one application on the runway and that’s just the beginning of the expense.
“The next night we got about another quarter inch of ice. We have no method here to do chemical deicing. It’s quite expensive,” Kelly said. “We did remove all the snow (but) we couldn’t get enough braking action.”
