Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority

Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority Director of Airports Trent Moyers says it's been difficult to get airlines interested in Wenatchee.

The airport has joined the coalition RESTORE, which intends to lobby in the U.S. Congress for the interests of Pangborn and other small community airports.

The idea sprang up as the Port was in talks with businesses that were interested in moving into the space recently vacated Badger Mountain Brewing.

Port commissioners selected Blewett Brewing at their Tuesday meeting from among three proposals to take over the high-profile location.

Badger Mountain shut its doors at the end of the year after a decade because of a challenging business climate.

The consulting firm conducting the study, BerryDunn, identified specific public preferences for the complex in Phase One of its study.

Port commissioners decided Tuesday to delay any agreement with their current consultant on how and if the firm will be used to develop commercial air service.

The Chelan Douglas Port Authority has signed off on a lease agreement for the Guard to take over the airport's Executive Flight building.

The Chelan Douglas Port Authority presented plans this week for a nearly $17 million cooling water site that would sit less than a mile from the data centers.

Airport director says the closure is problematic, but the work has to be done
