| H.R. No. 1132 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Huntsville Municipal Airport has received the 2023 | ||
| TxDOT Aviation Award for Project of the Year in the Local/Basic | ||
| category; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A general aviation, business/corporate airport, | ||
| Huntsville Municipal Airport averages over 25,000 operations | ||
| annually; its single 5,000-foot runway has been supported | ||
| effectively for decades by a parallel Taxiway Alpha and its four | ||
| connectors, but safety standards have evolved; the Federal Aviation | ||
| Administration now requires greater separation between the runway | ||
| and taxiway; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Seeking to minimize the impact on its tenants, the | ||
| airport divided its construction project into three phases; in the | ||
| first two phases, the northern and southern thirds of the taxiway | ||
| were relocated; the relocated runway threshold subphases for work | ||
| inside the Runway Safety Area were built as part of a singular | ||
| project; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The airport broke ground in November 2022 for the | ||
| third phase, the relocation of the middle third of Taxiway Alpha; in | ||
| addition, this phase has involved moving the airport's Automated | ||
| Weather Observation System; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This major initiative was made possible by support | ||
| from numerous entities, including the City of Huntsville, the | ||
| electric utility Entergy, TxDOT, the National Oceanic and | ||
| Atmospheric Administration, the National Weather Service, and the | ||
| FAA; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Huntsville Municipal Airport's taxiway | ||
| relocation project is a reflection of the facility's steadfast | ||
| commitment to the safety of the flying public, and it is indeed | ||
| deserving of this prestigious accolade; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Huntsville Municipal Airport on | ||
| receiving the 2023 TxDOT Aviation Award for Project of the Year in | ||
| the Local/Basic category and extend to all those associated with | ||
| the airport sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it | ||
| further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the airport as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives. | ||
