Request for Concept Plans period has ended

The Board of County Commissioners of Garfield County, Colorado, owner, and operator of the Rifle Garfield County Airport (RIL) issued a Request for Concept Plans on August 27, 2024, from which one proposal was submitted by the October 23, 2024, 2 p.m. deadline. The sole purpose and intent of this process was to make available airport land for aeronautical use in an open and fair manner to all interested aviation users.

Full documentation on the Rifle Garfield County Airport Request for Concept Plans is available currently.

The Rifle Garfield County Airport has land that is suitable for development on the west and east sides of the main apron. The land west of the main apron, between Taxiway A2 and A3, will be evaluated under the 2025 Airport Master Plan, which will evaluate land use and development alternatives. The land east of the main apron, around Taxiway B4 and B5, shown in the graphic below, is ready for development and is the subject of this Request for Concept Plans.

According to the current airport layout plan, the land east of the main apron, along Taxiway B4 and future Taxiway B5, is available for aircraft design groups II and III. Additional information regarding these development areas is included in this document.

Vacant land along Taxiway B4, including parcels A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5, A-6, A-8, and A-9, have been leased or are in the conceptual plan or development plan phase. The County expects to see development for a variety of aviation uses, including corporate hangars, FBO operations, private hangars, and ramp space on these parcels.
