WOODBINE - Mayor William Pikolycky is pleased to announce that the Federal Aviation Administration has notified the Woodbine Municipal Airport that it has been awarded an additional $928,770 in grant funding for Phase 2 of its apron expansion project.
Woodbine Municipal Airport is continuing construction of this second phase of a new apron to better serve the aviation needs of the community. This is the final phase of a two-phase project. The first phase was financed with NJDOT funds of $463,100. It includes site clearing, utility relocation, pavement removal, paving, and turf restoration. Construction on that phase is scheduled to begin the end of July.
The second phase is being funded with FAA funds and includes pavement of the apron, tie down installation, and pavement markings.
The total project currently consists of a 120,000 square foot expansion of the existing aircraft apron and a new roadway located north of Henry DeCinque Boulevard, the airport’s main entrance roadway, totaling approximately $1.4 million. The airport is in need of additional apron area due to an increase in demand from prospective tenants. The road will provide access to existing facilities and connect to the new apron.
“This additional funding from the FAA gives us the green light to go ahead with completion of this project in its totality,” added Mayor Pikolycky. “We are pleased and grateful that it has come through so quickly following the delays caused by the recent national situation.”
