Dunn County pledges $1.55 million to airport taxiway project to spur hangar development
Summary
The Dunn County Commission unanimously approved a $1,547,461.11 contribution to a partial parallel taxiway and taxi lane project at the Dunn County Airport; state funding was reported at 50%, and county support is intended to enable hangar development and future funding opportunities.
The Dunn County Board of County Commissioners voted April 1 to contribute $1,547,461.11 toward a partial parallel taxiway and taxi lane project at Dunn County Airport.
Mike Schollmeyer, representing the Dunn County Airport Authority, said the taxiway work would improve airfield safety by reducing back-taxiing and would open additional hangar development opportunities, which in turn could attract funding and support economic development in the county. Schollmeyer said the state is willing to fund 50% of the project.
Commissioners voted unanimously to provide the requested county contribution. County officials said the project is expected to increase infrastructure capacity and help promote local aviation-related development; funding sources and the schedule for county disbursement were not specified in the meeting minutes.
The airport authority will proceed with project planning and coordinate state and local disbursement schedules.
