The airport consultant, Dubois and King Inc. of Randolph, Vt., will be hired on a five-year contract to help with the Las Cruces International Airport’s wildlife management plan, the disadvantaged business enterprise plan, and the airport’s master and security plans, among other planning and technical projects.
