Dirt has been moving south of the terminal of the St. George Regional Airport since mid-summer due to one of the projects attached to the airport's overall expansion.
On a warm Friday morning, airport director Rich Stehmeier took St. George News to the location of the airport's expanded apron — an area where planes are parked for loading, unloading, maintenance and other services — which ran alongside what he jokingly called "a big hole."
Heavy equipment was in the hole, which was about five feet deep, and creating clouds of dust as Stehmeier explained excavation will reach 17 feet deep, then refilled to create a better foundation for an incoming 11,000 square-foot structure that will house a fixed-based operator called Sandstone Aviation.
Construction on the building should begin in the next few weeks, Stehmeier said, and referred back to the apron and taxiway, which for the moment resembled a large, unmarked parking lot with construction workers, flag markers and work trucks dotting the landscape.
