Thank you to Robin Sobotta, Director of the Prescott Airport for braving the weather and giving us an update on the Prescott Regional Airport.
The airport will be getting a new tower in 2025. At 125 ft high, it will be the highest occupied structure in Prescott. Runway extension to improve airline service and safety is also in the works.
Robin says that with the dominant direction of takeoff, the longer runway will support planes being higher when they pass over residential areas. That means less noise over those areas.
This year the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) awarded City of Prescott Regional Airport (PRC) with a Voluntary Environmental Stewardship Program (VESP) Certificate of Recognition in strong environmental compliance and striving to go beyond what is legally required to protect public health and the environment for the past three years.
PRC was accepted into the Bronze Level of Environmental Stewardship August of 2022 for demonstrating environmental excellence. City of Prescott, Arizona
