OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) – A project that has been the topic of conversation for years is finally set to take flight in Oshkosh.
Construction of a new General Aviation terminal building was approved by the Winnebago County Board on Tuesday. The $6.8 million facility will replace two aging buildings along 20th Avenue.
The 12,500 square-foot terminal will serve general aviation air traffic, space for Basler Flight Service, airport administrative offices, space for a rental car operation and meeting rooms for general public use. It’s also expected to make traveling more efficient for flyers.
Finalized plans are expected by early 2020 with bids opening in late April. Construction is expected to begin in May.
The project received a $1.8 million grant from the Wisconsin Bureau of Aeronautics. The remaining balance is being funded by the county.
