WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the Hemphill County Airport, which has been selected | ||
to receive the 2015 Most Improved General Aviation Airport of | ||
the Year award; and | ||
WHEREAS, This award recognizes a general aviation or | ||
reliever airport that has undergone significant upgrades to | ||
better fulfill the needs of the region it serves; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Hemphill County Airport is located in the | ||
center of one of the largest oil reserves in the Texas Panhandle, | ||
and as oil production has expanded in the region, the demand for | ||
services at the airport has increased; and | ||
WHEREAS, In 2012, airport management and local officials | ||
partnered with the Texas Department of Transportation Aviation | ||
Division to plan and implement a number of improvements at the | ||
airport; and | ||
WHEREAS, Among the most notable renovations are newly | ||
upgraded and expanded runways, taxiways, and aprons, and a new, | ||
state-of-the-art lighting system; the improvement project has | ||
opened the airport to a wider variety of businesses and has | ||
increased the weight-bearing capacity of a runway to handle | ||
larger aircraft; and | ||
WHEREAS, Local officials, airport management, and area | ||
residents recognize the important economic contributions that | ||
the airport brings to the community, and the recent improvements | ||
have positioned the airport to meet the increasing demands of the | ||
future; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend all who have participated in the | ||
improvements to the Hemphill County Airport and congratulate | ||
them on the airport's selection as the 2015 Most Improved General | ||
Aviation Airport of the Year; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
honor of the Hemphill County Airport. | ||
