City Hall
Mohave County said Friday that the Mohave County Airport Authority did not respond by the August 27 deadline to the county’s August 7 statutory offer for leasehold interests and related assets at Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport. With no reply, the county says it is ready to start the legal lease condemnation process.
County Interim Airport Director Ed Faron will focus first on a verified picture of airport finances, contracts, capital projects, and maintenance needs. The county says it will coordinate with the FAA, Bullhead City, tenants, and regional partners during the transition.
Looking ahead, the Mohave County Local Emergency Planning Committee meets Wednesday, September 2, at 1:00 p.m. at Bullhead City Fire Station No. 1, 1260 Hancock Road. The Planning and Zoning Commission holds its regular hearing Wednesday, September 9, at 10:00 a.m. in the Board of Supervisors Auditorium, 700 West Beale Street in Kingman.
