A little landscaping around some of the troubled areas prone to
flooding need to be addressed, those are simple fixes if someone just
takes the time to do it.

But then they wouldn't be able to park airplanes there!
Each of those airplanes represents $19/day.
They would lose money, and as we know, it is all about money.

I believe that he is talking about landscaping in terms of providing the
correct slope and proper drainage, so that water does not stand in your
parking and camping area, not the kind of landscaping that plants pretty
flower beds and trees and such.

As a contractor, I agree that it would not take that much to provide some
storm drains and french drains, and build a few permanent shower building
with real hot and cold water and private dressing areas.

I was always told that part of the reason that there are shower trailers and
holding tanks was that the airport powers that be would not let anyone build
permanent buildings and real sanitary sewer systems on the airport property.

Perhaps some of the city elders are starting to see which side their bread
is buttered on.

There are more events held on the airport property than airventure every
year. More permanent infrastructure could only be a good thing for these
events to grow, and attract more events to the grounds.
