The sign is to be 4'x8' with printing on both sides, and is to be installed on 4x4 posts facing the Kenai Spur Highway near the electrical guy pole , roughly 100' from the curb.

The cost of the sign will be responsibility of the Airport. On behalf of the Airport Commission, I request your support for the sign .
