Lone Bid Received for Seneca Airport Property

(KMZA)--Additional information will be gathered before a decision is made whether to accept the lone bid received for the Seneca Municipal Airport property.

The City Council opened the lone bid from Precision Aerial Ag, of Seneca, at their regular meeting Wednesday evening. The bid was for $100,000 for the just over 29 acres.

Daren and Dustin Ronnebaum with Precision Aerial said they will maintain the property as a public airport, which is part of terms and conditions set by the city. In addition, they said they plan to make $250,000 to $300,000 worth of improvements to the airport over a 5 to 10 year period.

Three Seneca residents appeared at the Council meeting to voice their opposition to the sale of the airport property because it will require that the gun range currently located at the site be moved to a different location. The residents said the city has a good gun range that is used by many people and don’t want to see it moved.

The Council decided to have a council committee review the bid and gather additional information before a decision is made. The committee is to report back to the Council at their November 1st meeting.
