St George Regional Airport

The St George Municipal Airport is currently too small to accommodate the larger commuter aircraft it is in demand to want to handle. Because St George has been growing so fast a new airport has been proposed and accepted.

If you will notice on the map below, on the left hand side toward the middle top area, you will faintly see the black lettered words "Existing Airport". This is the location of the current St George Municipal Airport. The new St George Regional Airport is located on the same below aerial map, on the bottom right and it is on a NE and SW angle or slant and the black lettered words say "Proposed Replacement Airport". This is where they have broke ground for the new St George Regional Airport. The St George City web site features this Replacement Airport EIS map and is where you can scroll, enlarge or pan around.

One of the largest environmental impact studies was conducted and concluded that the noise pollution, especially over Zion National Park, would be minimally acceptable. The airport will have a single runway to accommodate larger regional jets and Boeing type jets. The runway is supposed to be 9,300 by 150 feet with future plans for it to be extended to 11,500 feet. The airport will have an Air Traffic Control Tower and precision approach instruments. Partial funding for our St George Regional Airport is coming from the FAA totaling 24.2 million. The total project is expected to cost between $170 million to $190 million. Construction for breaking ground took place in 2008 and anticipated completion is in 2011.

The red canyon rock-fall and peaks in the upper center and a little to the left, or to the west, features a drive, along which is on your way out to Snow Canyon State Park. In real estate terms it is called Snow Canyon.
