-Governor Scott Walker announced a $623,813 project to complete a number of airport improvements at the Marshfield Airport.The project includes the acquisition of land that will protect the runway approach area, provides for an airport planning study and allows for the completion of needed pavement maintenance.
Michael Gabor, an airport engineering specialist with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, said the project will provide additional protection to prevent further development in the runway approach area of the primary runway, a high safety-related priority recommended by the Federal Aviation Administration.
The funding is broken down into 3 parts: $23,657 will come from the state, $23,657 will come from the City of Marshfield and $576,500 will come from the Federal Aviation Administration.
