Work is underway to renew (mill and repave) the Golden Municipal Airport runway as part of the Airport Airfield Rehabilitation project. This project will improve aviation safety and regulatory compliance and supporting business development for the airport.
This project is funded through a $2 million grant from the BC Air Access Program, just over $650,000 from the Economic Opportunity Fund, and $250,000 from the Town of Golden.
This work is being done as one of the recommendations from the Golden Municipal Airport Strategic & Tactical Plan completed in 2021 as part of an Economic Viability Study. The Economic Viability study involved the evaluation of airport infrastructure, operations and financial standing and engaged over 600 residents and regional and national stakeholders on the future of the airport. The results of this study led to Council voting unanimously to continue the operation of the airport and adoption of the Strategic & Tactical Plan.
