La comunidad de Karlstad, Minnesota, vio potencial para atender a los usuarios recreativos y comerciales de la zona, permitiendo que su econom\u00eda local creciera. El aeropuerto existente no pod\u00eda soportar las operaciones a\u00e9reas necesarias, por lo que Karlstad se asoci\u00f3 con Bollig para hacer avanzar su visi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
Bollig Engineering worked with the City, airport, residents, and local businesses to make the case for a new airport in a location that significantly increases economic development opportunities and supports its users\u2019 needs. The initial Feasibility Study also included recommended development projects for the near- and long-term utility of the airport. Bollig completed a Site Selection Study and advocated for Karlstad with the state legislature and MnDOT, using our compelling 3D video renderings to generate excitement and secure $16 million in funding for the new airport.<\/p>\n
Per MnDOT requirements, Bollig created an Airport Layout Plan to explore and document the 20-year development plan for the new airport as the next step in making the City\u2019s dream a reality. Step by step, through the Feasibility Study, Site Selection Study, and Airport Layout Plan, airport planning and funding issues were addressed in partnership with MnDOT Aeronautics, setting conditions for future construction.\u00a0 Bollig worked with the City to secure the necessary property, identify and remediate wetlands through wetland delineation and banking, and create the environmental reporting documentation regulated by the Board of Soil and Water Resources and the US Army Corps of Engineers required to be completed before construction could begin.<\/p>\n
Con el apoyo total de la Legislatura estatal, Bollig comenz\u00f3 el complejo proceso de dise\u00f1o del aeropuerto y su preparaci\u00f3n para la construcci\u00f3n. Esto incluy\u00f3 la adquisici\u00f3n de tierras, la liberaci\u00f3n de servidumbres, la documentaci\u00f3n ambiental, la delimitaci\u00f3n de humedales y la banca conjunta requerida por la Ley de Conservaci\u00f3n de Humedales, estudios topogr\u00e1ficos y pruebas geot\u00e9cnicas, procesos de permisos y m\u00e1s, todo en conjunto con los documentos detallados de dise\u00f1o y construcci\u00f3n adecuados para la licitaci\u00f3n. Todas estas actividades se llevaron a cabo en conjunto con la comunicaci\u00f3n continua con los miembros de la comunidad y la asociaci\u00f3n con Mike Beard de Bollig y los legisladores de Karlstad que abogaban por la financiaci\u00f3n de la construcci\u00f3n a nivel estatal. La construcci\u00f3n est\u00e1 actualmente en marcha.<\/p>\n
In the 2024, 2025, and 2026 construction season, major site grading and stormwater drainage work was completed, shaping the site and readying it for final grading in summer of 2026.\u00a0 With the ongoing support of the legislature, the runway, taxiway and apron will be paved in 2027 and the airport can open for pilots using visual approaches. Lighting and NAVAIDS will be part of a future project<\/p>\n
