The ATCT would be accessed via a realigned airportaccess road and is located in the eastcentral portion of the airport, approximately 2,150 feet east of the Runway 14L–32R and Runway 4–22 intersection. The new ATCT will be a Low Activity Level facility with a 440 square foot cab and will be at an overall height of 130 feet above ground level. The new ATCT will enhance controllers’ visibility from the tower cab and will provide sufficient space to improve operational efficiency. The Base Building will be of sufficient size for administrative space requirementsand will be able to accommodate stateof-the-art equipment upgrades. The project also includes, and the Final EA evaluated, construction of a paved parking area next to the Base Building; site work, including realignment of an airport access road, grading, drainage, utilities, and fencing; replacement of the 8 element V–Ring antenna on the Runway 32R instrument landing system with a 14-element LPD antenna array and relocate 55 feet to the northwest; Dopplerization of the Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range with Tactical Air Navigation facility; unconditional approval of the revised Airport Layout Plan; and Federal funding of the project.
