Governor Doyle approves $18,000 project at Fond du Lac County Airport

March 27, 2008

Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle has approved an $18,000 project to prepare a conceptual design for a new airport terminal building at the Fond du Lac County Airport. The Governor's action releases $14,400 in state funds to plan a new airport terminal building and Fond du Lac County is contributing $3,600.
According to Craig Butler, project manager with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, the project will provide the airport with a publicly owned terminal building. Currently the airport uses and shares a privately owned building.

The design project is scheduled to be completed by July 2008.

Facilities at the Fond du Lac County Airport include a 5,940-foot primary runway and a 3,600-foot crosswind runway that together accommodate some 68,000 take-offs and landings each year. The airport serves as the number one reliever facility during the annual EAA Convention in Oshkosh.
