WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Arlington Municipal Airport, which has been named the | ||
recipient of the 2011 Reliever Airport of the Year Award; and | ||
WHEREAS, Arlington Municipal Airport received this | ||
prestigious honor for its consistent support of local economic | ||
development and community events while continuing to improve and | ||
expand aviation facilities; and | ||
WHEREAS, The airport is home to 22 businesses and has | ||
recently opened a new terminal building to support its growth and | ||
its enhanced role in the community; it has worked in cooperation | ||
with the Texas Department of Transportation on a number of major | ||
construction projects, including lighting, approach aids, and | ||
air traffic control tower radar; and | ||
WHEREAS, Arlington Municipal Airport has had a substantial | ||
financial impact on the community, with on-airport spending and | ||
visitors who use general aviation at the airport sustaining | ||
nearly 800 full-time jobs and $93.3 million in total economic | ||
output; due to the foresight of its administrators and the 15 | ||
months of planning conducted by its exceptional staff in advance | ||
of Super Bowl XLV, the airport was able to reopen within 24 hours | ||
after an ice storm paralyzed the region during the week of the | ||
game, and it remained open throughout the ensuing protracted | ||
freezing weather and snowfall; and | ||
WHEREAS, Arlington Municipal Airport plays an important role | ||
in the life of the community, and it is truly deserving of | ||
recognition for this outstanding achievement; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the management and staff of the | ||
Arlington Municipal Airport on their commitment to service and | ||
extend to them congratulations on the airport's being named the | ||
2011 Reliever Airport of the Year; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
the airport as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
