City celebrates completion of airport improvements

The City will celebrate the completion of all the recent improvements to the Georgetown Municipal Airport with a ribbon cutting May 31 at 10 a.m. The event will be at the Airport Terminal, 500 Terminal Drive.

The most recently completed work includes the rehabilitation of Runway 18-36, the airport’s main north-south runway. Other improvements to the airport include the construction of a parallel north-south taxiway, lighting upgrades, and the relocation of the fuel storage tanks to above-ground.

The event will include remarks from Mayor Dale Ross and Marc Williams, deputy executive director of the Texas Department of Transportation, as well as Buz Landry, who attended the airport’s opening in November 1945.
