The Marshalltown Airport was the focal point of discussion last night for the Marshalltown City Council. Part of that discussion also is an illustration of the issues that come about when supply lines are backed up as much as they are now. Garling Construction, the contractor for the building of the new hangar, will not be able to complete the job by the end of the month, due to those supply chain issues. It is asking for a time delay and monetary assistant from the city to help make it whole. Public Works Director Justin Nickel told the Council the delay was one thing, the cost is another.

The Council instructed staff to come back with a recommendation in two weeks on how to proceed on Garling’s request.
