(New Braunfels, TX) -- New Braunfels Airport Director Vinicio
"Lenny" Llerena was named TXDOT’s 2012 General Aviation Manager of the
Year at a ceremony held last night at the 30th annual Texas Aviation
Convention in Galveston. The award is presented annually to an airport
director who exhibits excellence in management and business, aspects
that City Manager Michael Morrison says are exemplified by Llerena.
With support from City Council, Llerena purchased new airport towing
equipment and acquired additional land for a runway extension, and he
even made use of the county’s prison labor force to reduce maintenance
costs. Under his leadership, over 12-million dollars in capital
improvements have been initiated at the airport, with about 9½-million
dollars coming from TXDOT grants, not from local taxpayers.
TXDOT is responsible for maintaining 80-thousand miles of road in
Texas and is responsible for supporting aviation, rail, and public
transportation projects across the state. You can find out more by
