County appropriated $6,000.00 and this was matched by the State . board with 16,000.00. The Federal Government placed $80,000.00 on the project making a total of $112,000.00 for improvement to Nephi City Airport. An additional $1500 has been riated by the State Aeronautics T Board to complete the graveling or the runway. Preliminary survey of the air port was made April 1, 1948, and the contractor started grading on April 9th. About April 20th. the gravel base was started. Most of the gravel was secured on the south end of the Airport grounds north-south and was placed on the runway to form the base fill of the runway. A gravel pit about two miles north of Nephi, on the East side of highway 91, on land owned by Lynn Jackson was opened and a crusher placed in service to secure the gravel necessary for the runway surface. This pit was a haul of two miles to the airport and on June 18 the surface gravel was started. This gravel was placed in rows and mixed with oil. On July 26th the VV. W. Clyde Co., contractors started the spreading operations and rolling the oil mixture into place. On August 23 the seal coat was started and by September 5th Nephi will have completed one of the finest airports in the State of Uteast-we- st ah. Situated about a mile north and two miles west o fthe city, Nephi can now boast of its airport. With h a runway 4800 feet lng and 500 feet wide from shoulder to shoulder the field will now accomodate all but the largest military type planes. Each of the shoulders is 175 feet wide with a paved runway in the center 150 ft wide. The runway is 2527 feet long and 300 feet wide with a 100-graveled runway In the center.
