GREENVILLE, WI (WTAQ) – $10.4 million of federal funding that will go towards building a new firefighting training center at Appleton International Airport was announced on Thursday by Senator Tammy Baldwin.
The center is in conjunction with Fox Valley Technical College and will assist firefighting students in completing their FAA-required training.
Regional Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Training Centers have recently closed in Minnesota and Michigan allowing this facility to bridge the gap in the Midwest.
The project is being assisted by both Oshkosh Corporation and Pierce Manufacturing.
