A shipping container holding an ATV that helps deliver mail in Pilot Station is at the center of a proposed five-year land permit at the village airport.

The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities has proposed permitting Parcel B, about 4,600 square feet, to Riverside Apartments, LLC, for a non-aeronautical use: a 20-by-8-foot conex container holding the ATV, which assists with delivering mail to the local post office when an agent is not available. Annual rent is about $676 plus other fees.

The department has separately proposed leases to the same company at St. Mary's Airport, for airplane storage and for air carrier and terminal use.
