I doubt that the "runway" was actually damaged by the landing aircraft. Damage is usually caused when making tight turns after landing (Eg unsuitable taxiway exits requiring a backtrack manoever). This can be avoided by using a tug, but that would not have been very elegant would it?
Damage can also be caused to the apron area when the heavy aircraft is stationary for more than a few hours.
I tend to agree with others above. Mr Snow has seen a way to upgrade his substandard airport. Last time I looked it did not even have the correct signage and lighting.
