City of Moorhead - Airport Committee Meeting Nov 04, 2026

The City of Moorhead Airport Committee met on November 4, 2026. Members discussed the airport’s PAPI lighting and concrete-base replacement project, which has been awarded to an electrical contractor but is delayed because the contractor cannot obtain the required equipment and delivery dates remain uncertain. The work may shift to 2027; runway closures will be needed for safety, and the city said it will notify airport tenants once a schedule is known. No contract value or contractor name was stated. The committee also voted to recommend that the City Council approve the 2027–2029 Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program. The program sets out how goals would be established; staff said no projects with federal funding of $250,000 or more are anticipated during that period. The meeting also included a report about the Girls in Aviation Day event hosted at the airport.
