Construction on Owensboro-Daviess County Regional Airport's new $5 million fire station—technically the Aircraft Rescue & Firefighting Facility—should begin his month, Airport Manager Bob Whitmer said recently.
It's expected to be completed in late 2018 or early 2019, he said.
ARC Construction of Evansville won the contract Nov. 3, underbidding two other contractors.
Whitmer said the 11,875-square-foot building meets all Federal Aviation Administration regulations.
It's designed to "last a minimum of 40 years," he said.
