The fate of the Caledonia County State Airport could be known by the end of the year

The fate of the Caledonia County State Airport could be known by the end of the year. The Vermont Agency of Transportation made the Lyndon airport available to purchase or lease this summer. The possibility of the state parting with the regional airport arose in the waning weeks of the legislative session last spring when Vermont Agency of Transportation officials revealed that interest in the airport had been expressed by Kyle Clark and his company BETA Technologies, which is developing and manufacturing electric aircraft with headquarters in South Burlington. The deadline to submit bids was Sept. 13. AOT is now reviewing the bid/s, a process that will take several months. AOT has also retained a financial firm to evaluate the capacity of the bidders to complete their plans.
