Sheboygan County Airport requests $184,000 to repair access drive, hangar and parking areas
Summary
Officials representing Sheboygan County Airport requested $184,000 to reconstruct the airport access drive, hangar access and terminal parking area to address severe rutting, drainage and flooding that disrupt operations and access for island residents, life flight and public‑safety users.
Rep. Cabot introduced a $184,000 request to reconstruct the access drive, hangar access and terminal parking areas at Sheboygan County Airport. Presenter Chris Bauer and the airport manager told the subcommittee the current asphalt over crushed‑stone base is about 30 years old, heavily rutted and subject to flooding — particularly the parking area used by year‑round island residents when ferries are suspended — and that the project would grind, pulverize and repave the surface and repair ditching.
Presenters said the estimate is for construction only and that the airport previously sought federal assistance for terminal improvements but was unsuccessful; they said the proposed work must be done in one phase and should last roughly 30 years once completed. Questions from the committee covered phasing, other funding sources and the project lifespan; presenters said the work is best done in one continuous construction window and that the estimate was provided by a local contractor.
Speakers: Rep. Cabot; Chris Bauer (Northern Lakes Economic Alliance); Mike Jarmey (airport manager); Rod Adams (airport authority board president).
