Residents of Aspen are familiar with the experience of being stuck in a holding pattern over the city during winter. This phenomenon is not just limited to air travel, but also seems to be the case with the proposed airport modernization.

The project has been in discussion for nearly a decade, with various advisory board members coming and going. A decision was made by the Board of County Commissioners to avoid a public vote on certain aspects of the project.

Further details on the airport modernization and the decisions surrounding it are available through the Aspen Times.
