In 1996, the City of Haleyville began the long process of planning and upgrading
the local airport. The airport, named Posey Field, is located three miles northeast
of the City of Haleyville. Posey Field has a runway 18/36 that is 5,000 feet long
x 100 feet wide with an average runway elevation of 930 feet MSL. The runway and
taxiway are lighted with medium intensity runway lights (MIRL). Runway end identifier
lights (REILs) are also being installed on the runway at this time.
Also
in 1996, a Preliminary Master Plan to upgrade the airport was prepared. This Master
Plan included resurfacing the airport runway, taxiway, and parking apron, new
lighting, fencing, and repairs to the FBO building, enclosed hangers, and T-hangers.
Through this Master Plan and work of the Airport Board, the following work has
been accomplished and is being planned: |
