No recommendations for this finding
Thermal Airport was renamed Desert Resorts Regional Airport in October 1998. It is not in an area generally associated with desert resorts. It does have a well maintained Fixed Base Operator. This is a magnet to attract additional business. The airport drainage system is antiquated and needs to be updated. One runway needs to be resurfaced. Convenient commuting and telephone communication is beginning to be developed. 4.Hemet/Ryan's appearance and deteriorating buildings negatively affect any ability to attract new tenants. The City of Hemet, as of January 1, 1999, has established a code enforcement office because they realize many areas of the city like the airport surroundings are unsightly. Hemet has recently annexed all the surrounding property.

Establish at the Desert Resorts Regional Airport an expanded ground and communication link for guestconvenience to local golf centers or resorts. Update the drainage system as soon as possible. Resurface one runway as needed. 4.Enforce clean up at Hemet/Ryan. This includes landscape, garbage, trash collection and general housekeeping. Act as a catalyst to the City of Hemet to cooperate in a major appearance upgrade around the airport facilities and industrial park.

A land appraisal has been requested. 6.Desert Center has no facilities except a runway that the county is forced to maintain through grants. The access road is no longer maintained.
