Rotorcraft Construction Update
By Anonymous — Wednesday, June 20th, 2018
When you are entering Fillmore from the west, and you first see it, it’s an impressive site. The private heliport maintenance and repair facility for helicopters stretches from River Street to the edge of the Santa Clara River at D Street. The hangar measures 67,872 square-feet. Rotorcraft Support Inc. and The Guardian are part of the Fillmore Business Park Master Plan and construction of the facility is moving along, including parking spaces and retaining walls. Phase 2 consists of constructing a 45,066 SF hangar for a future undetermined tenant. The businesses would like to be allowed to operate from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturdays with allowance to perform work on Sundays during times of emergencies. The project site is 10.52 acres and can accommodate one landing pad with eight (8) helicopter parking areas. The flight paths will occur along the Santa Clara River with the helicopters approaching the site from a southerly direction. The flight paths will not be over the residential areas of Fillmore. |
