WHEREAS, Cleburne Regional Airport has received the 2023 |
|
|
Project of the Year award in the National/Regional Airport category |
|
|
from the Texas Department of Transportation; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Established in the early 1960s, Cleburne Regional |
|
|
Airport features a runway spanning 5,700 feet in length and 100 feet |
|
|
in width and supports aircraft as large as business jets; recently, |
|
|
the airport underwent an extensive renovation project to repair |
|
|
damage to the runway and taxiways and to improve safety; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The project involved a full-depth reclamation of the |
|
|
entire runway as well as a crack seal and emulsion treatment on the |
|
|
runway surface; other updates included full-depth reclamations of |
|
|
two taxiways, infield grading, and the installation of new taxiway |
|
|
edge lights; while the improvements were being carried out, the |
|
|
parallel taxiway was used as a runway to serve local traffic and |
|
|
accommodate pilot training; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The renovation project was completed on time and |
|
|
under budget, with the final contract amount totaling some $5 |
|
|
million; moreover, the project served as an inspiring example of |
|
|
community partnership as it fostered collaboration between the City |
|
|
of Cleburne, TxDOT Aviation, and engineering and contracting |
|
|
services; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The investments made in Cleburne Regional Airport |
|
|
have greatly enhanced its reputation as a hub for transportation |
|
|
and commerce, and its receipt of this notable award is indeed well |
|
|
deserved; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Cleburne Regional Airport on |
|
|
receiving the 2023 Project of the Year award in the |
|
|
National/Regional Airport category from the Texas Department of |
|
|
Transportation and extend to all those associated with the facility |
|
|
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Cleburne Regional Airport as an expression of high |
|
|
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
