Oklahoma state aviation and airport officials held a groundbreaking ceremony launching several much-anticipated improvements at South Grand Lake Regional Airport (1K8). On the slate for upgrades at the general and business aviation facility are a new terminal to accommodate the growing number of passengers, pilots, and other airport visitors; an additional hangar; and a parallel taxiway serving the north/south runway. 

The first phase of the improvement plan includes constructing a 3,800-sq-ft terminal with updated facilities and comfortable amenities. The new 12,000-sq-ft hangar is part of an effort to increase revenue-generating aircraft storage facilities.
