The only thing the Feds are saying is that they don't want to fund any more repaving (patching) for 2/20, they say that 2/20 needs to be replaced/rebuilt. I don't think this is about an extension, other than one of the alternatives for the rebuild would be to extend the short runway (5/23) so it can handle the traffic that 2/20 normally handles during the rebuild. Anyway, we'll find out Monday night or shortly thereafter.
I don't know if I can make it to that meeting, but we will at least get some news posted about the alternatives being discussed.

Glad you are going to the meeting as I'm off island right now. Please keep us informed. IMHO, the smart thing is to rebuild the runway and extend it so that the newer planes can get in without weight restrictions.
