Roben-Hood Airport is set to conduct three to four controlled burns this week as part of its runway extension project.

According to a recent social media post, the airport will clear large piles of brush and fallen trees on the west end of the property.

"We wanted to notify people ahead of time," Airport Representative Kendra Herrema said. "(The burns) will continue until everything is cleared."

For safety, the piles are surrounded by dirt barriers. J & N Construction is overseeing the project, aligning with Mecosta County’s open burning regulations and the Michigan DNR’s Burn Permits Map.

Roben-Hood Airport services air traffic from all over Central Michigan.
