Stinson Municipal Airport Air Traffic Control Tower
This project, the construction of a new airport traffic control tower at the historic Stinson Airfield, was the culmination of many years of funding, designing and obtaining community support. The Stinson Municipal Airport is the second oldest continually operated airport in the United States. The original airport control tower, built in the mid 1930’s, was renovated and expanded between 2006 and 2008. The control tower is constructed of a deep socketed foundation with precast concrete panels to a height of nearly 100’ above grade level. Atop the concrete panel is a steel framed cab, which houses the air traffic controllers’ stations.
