Nain Airstrip Update

Nain is slated to receive a new airstrip within the next few years.

The locations of the two sites being considered are south of Annainak Reservoir, 1.08 miles away from Nain and the other is at Kauk Brook which is approximately five miles west of the Town.

Rick Noseworthy is an engineer with Newfoundland & Labrador Consulting Engineers Ltd.

He says a draft report is nearly completed, which is to be submitted to the Provincial Department of Transportation & Works next month.

Noseworthy adds further discussions will be held between Ministers of the Provincial Government, the Nunatsiavut Government and the MHA of Torngat Mountains District once the report has been completed within a week or two.

Noseworthy says the two sites are undergoing a preliminary cost estimation process right now and there are a number of factors to be considered as to which site would be better suited for the airstrip.
