It's back

to square one for officials who want to see a restaurant

built and operated at Falcon Field.

The

potential operators of the restaurant have pulled out of

the project, airport manager Jim Savage told the Airport

Authority at its regular meeting recently.

Savage said

that a representative of Winsock Ltd. had told him that

his partner was having to pull out, so he would have to

do the same. This would leave no one to operate the

facility after its construction.

Bids for

construction had been received, from PRAD Construction

and Group VI Corporation. Both of those bids were

approaching the end of a 120-day window, Savage said, and

at least 60 more days would be needed for either Winsock

or someone else to become a serious participant.

Authority

chairman Patterson recommended that the matter be tabled

indefinitely, and his motion carried.
