Officials still searcing for regional airport manager

Routt County officials are continuing their search for a manager at the Yampa Valley Regional Airport.

County Manager Tom Sullivan said Monday that the interview committee, which includes city and county officials, is considering five applicants. One of the candidates was among a group that has already been considered for the job.
