The
West Bend
Municipal
Airport
should have its new automated weather observation system
installed next month, but new asphalt for one of its runways
will have to wait until preliminary engineering work is
completed.
This week
it was announced that the local airport will receive a
combined $237,895 from federal, state and local sources for
the two projects.
The Federal
Aviation Administration is paying $150,000 for these
projects, while the state’s share is $67,947.
West Bend
will chip in another $19,948.
The upgrade
of the automated weather observation system (AWOS) replaces
10-year-old computerized technology that provides pilots
with up-to-date local weather information for
West Bend
, said John Capelle, director of the city’s Department of
Community Development.
