Governor Doyle approves $170,354 project at Clintonville Municipal Airport

June 4, 2009

Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle has approved a $170,354 project to rehabilitate pavements at the Clintonville Municipal Airport.  The Governor’s action releases $4,259 in state funds to crack seal and sealcoat airfield pavements.  The city of Clintonville is contributing another $4,259, and the Federal Aviation Administration is providing $161,836.

According to Michael Gabor, airport engineering specialist with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, the project will provide a new surface course to help prevent water infiltration, and minimize oxidation effects, both of which cause pavement deterioration.

The project is scheduled to begin in mid-summer 2009 and should be completed by summer’s end.

Facilities at the Clintonville Municipal Airport include the 4,600-foot primary runway, the 3,300-foot secondary runway, and a 2,040-foot turf airstrip.  There are some 40 aircraft based at the airport and approximately 8,000 aircraft take-offs and landings occur each year.
