Medicine Hat – The Government of Alberta announced today that the Medicine Hat Regional Airport is one of ten regional airports to be awarded the Regional Airport Development grant. The $150,000 investment will fund a feasibility study and business case to justify airport capital development and investment opportunities.
“We are thrilled by the province's commitment to facilitate growth of our airport,” said Logan Boyd, Airport Manager. “This work will precede the Airport Masterplan Project, during which we will closely examine the recommendations arising from the strategic framework developed through completion of the study and business case,” adds Boyd.
The Airport Masterplan was endorsed by City Council in November 2023.
“With support of the province, we can conduct a detailed facilities assessment to evaluate the lifespan, condition, and capacity of airport infrastructure across all major asset classes,” said Pat Bohan, Managing Director of Development and Infrastructure. “This endeavor will pave the way for boosting the airport’s economic output and toward keeping Medicine Hat connected to other economies and major markets,” adds Bohan.
This first phase of the project is expected to be complete by September 2024.
