SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 696
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Calhoun County Airport, which has been selected to
receive the 2009 Most Improved Airport of the Year Award; and
WHEREAS, The airport has been selected by the Aviation
Division of the Texas Department of Transportation and will
receive the award at a banquet on May 12; and
WHEREAS, Located in Port Lavaca, the Calhoun County
Airport is now earning rave reviews from airport users after
years of being considered a "non-destination"; and
WHEREAS, Not only did the airport invest in building new
large hangars and T-hangars, it also entered into a lease with a
new fixed-base operator that is providing services and
management of the facilities; and
WHEREAS, The airport has removed the former underground
fuel tank and dispenser and installed a new aboveground fuel
system that has satisfied all state and federal regulations; the
airport is now in the design phase of a project to overlay the
runway and taxiway pavement; and
WHEREAS, With these improvements to its facilities and
services, the Calhoun County Airport is poised to become a
destination of choice for area residents and recreational
aviators alike; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st
Legislature, hereby commend all who participated in the
improvements to the Calhoun County Airport and extend
congratulations to them on the airport's selection as the 2009
Most Improved Airport of the Year; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
the Calhoun County Airport.
