New $21 Million Airport for Alaska Town With 46 Residents

"At 3,300 feet long and 75 feet wide, the new airport in Takotna will be almost twice the size of the old one, Maggard said. The current airport is 1,700 feet long and 45 feet wide."

"The new airport will have lights and will be at a new site because the old one is built into the side of a hill. The current airstrip has no lights. Maggard called it "very substandard."
