Port explores Grove Field Airport expansion

Could expanding the local Grove Field Airport help Camas-Washougal attract corporate leaders? Port of Camas-Washougal Commissioner John Spencer thinks it would.

Spencer, a pilot, is leading an effort to promote the possible widening and lengthening of the runway at Grove Field. The local airport is 40 feet wide and 2,600 feet long. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says runways at small airports like Grove should be 60 feet wide and 3,070 feet long.
