HANNIBAL â The city of Hannibal hopes to use a state grant to help pay for the replacement of aging runway lights at the airport.
During Tuesday nightâs meeting of the Hannibal City Council at city hall the department of public works was granted permission to apply for a Missouri Department of Transportation aviation grant to be used to replace runway lights, the Precision Approach Path Indicator and Runway End Identifier Lights at Hannibal Regional Airport.
âCurrently our runway lights are out of compliance due to their height and age,â said Andy Dorian, the cityâs director of central services. âIn addition our PAPI and REIL are at the end of their useful lives and are suffering consistent failures.â

HANNIBAL â Guidelines which are used by the Historic Development District Commission to maintain continuity in the Hannibal Downtown Historic District could be changing, but not in the immediate future.
During Tuesday nightâs meeting of the Hannibal City Council proposed changes regarding upper façade windows was tabled out of concern that such action could wind up costing the city grant money.
According to Edie Graupman, Department of Public Works management assistant, the HDDC has determined that the 2009 version of its guideline book is no longer relevant to the standards that are required for todayâs uses. Consequently it would like to repeal and replace each section of the book one at a time, starting with the upper façade window section.
HANNIBAL â Plans continue to be developed that would see a roughly one-acre plat of land at Hannibal Regional Airport converted into a prairie area that features native vegetation.
During a recent meeting of the Hannibal Park Board, Andy Dorian, the cityâs director of central services, reported having talked with representatives of two of the Hannibal Parks and Recreation Departmentâs prairie restoration project partners, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the Master Naturalists.
Among the preliminary plans is for a controlled burn to occur in the designated prairie area some time this fall. The burn area will then have the seeds of native plants scattered across it.
HANNIBAL â In an effort to better utilize Hannibal Regional Airport, as well as other city-owned land that is located near the airport, the city and board of public works are pursuing the development of an airport business plan.
âWe have been working on this for quite some time. There have been numerous meetings,â said Andy Dorian, the cityâs director of central services, during the April 6 meeting of the Hannibal City Council.
According to Dorian, the plan will also include the Lakeside Technology Industrial Park that is located near the intersection of Highway MM and Shinn Lane in western Hannibal.
