GREEN BAY — Over the past two years, Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB) has been making a series of improvements to its facility, grounds and airfield.
One of those projects recently received the 2023 Wisconsin Transportation Builders Association/WisDOT Contractor-Engineers “Outstanding Construction Project Award.”
The award was given to GRB contractors Vinton Construction and Mead & Hunt for their combined planning and rehabilitation work done on the airport’s taxiway and apron.
“It’s an honor to have this award given to such a crucial improvement project at the airport,” Airport Director Marty Piette said. “Rehabilitating our aprons and taxiways will provide safer and smoother navigation of the airport grounds for landing or departing aircraft.”
The project was originally slated to be done in four phases, however Vinton was able to complete everything in just three phases, before the first 2023 Packers home game.
The completed taxiway and apron rehabilitation project is just one of the many improvement projects underway at the airport.
Parking lot and runway updates, as well as the installation of a new sidewalk canopy, are some of the projects taking place in 2024.
