WOODBINE – The borough
has applied for more than $800,000 in state and federal grants for
capital improvement projects at the Woodbine Municipal Airport, an
official said recently.
Mayor William Pikolycky
said Tuesday that is seeking about $427,000 from the Federal Aviation
Administration for three projects: $79,000 for the design and
engineering of Taxiway A repair; $273,000 for the removal of
obstructions, such as brush and stumps; and $74,000 for the design and
permitting of a helicopter parking area.
In addition, the borough
has applied for $400,000 from the state Department of Transportation to
repair Taxiway A, once design and engineering is completed.
The mayor said his optimistic that the borough will receive the funding.
“What generally happens
is that we meet with the FAA on a regular basis,” Pikolycky said. “They
have a good feel for what we need, and they encourage us to make
applications in the right area.”
The mayor said he expected it would take about three months for the FAA and state DOT to review the grant request.
If approved, Pikolycky said construction would begin shortly after that.
