From Times Wire Reports
Final approval of a 20-year building and improvement plan at Watsonville’s airport is being slowed by an endangered plant.
An environmental report on the improvements won City Council approval last month. A final OK has been stalled, however, as the city waits for an agreement with the state Fish and Game Department over the tarplant.
Among the planned improvements are adding about 100 hangars and lengthening the main runway by 800 feet.
