Governor Walker approves $90,000 project at Sheboygan County Memorial Airport

March 5, 2012

Governor Scott Walker today announced a $90,000 design project for pavement reconstruction of an aircraft ramp at the Sheboygan County Memorial Airport.

Kim Kaarto, airport engineer specialist with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), said the project is needed to improve deteriorating pavement of the ramp, with some sections constructed more than 40 years ago.

An airport ramp is the area where aircraft are parked, unloaded or loaded, refueled and boarded.

Design work is expected to be completed by the summer of 2012.

Funding Breakdown

• State = $72,000
• Sheboygan County = $18,000

The Sheboygan County Memorial Airport has two paved runways. Its primary runway is 6,800 feet, with a secondary runway of 5,000 feet.
