A contractor will be removing trees on Georgetown Municipal
Airport property in order to increase the clear zone at the end of
runway 36, which is north of Lakeway Drive.
The tree removal work is a safety project to meet Federal Aviation Administration requirements for runway safety areas adjacent to runways. This phase of the project is scheduled to be completed by June 7.
Due to the tree-clearing activity, a 1,500-foot section of the north-south 18-36 runway will be closed, which may alter some air traffic patterns.
The Texas Department of Transportation is providing funding for the purchase of additional property at the end of runway 11-29, which is the shorter east-west runway at the Airport. Future phases of the safety project will involve tree-clearing on Airport property at both ends of runway 11-29.
For details about the project, contact the Georgetown Municipal Airport at (512) 930-3666, or by email at airport@georgetown.org.
