Coleman Municipal Selected "Most Improved Airport"
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, April 15, 2004

AUSTIN - The Coleman Municipal Airport has been selected as the 2004 Most Improved Airport of the Year by the Texas Department of Transportation.

The award was presented at the 22nd Annual Texas Aviation Conference held in Austin recently.

The city-owned facility is a public-use general aviation airport that supports the local economy and community in a number of ways. It provides several community-based services and programs to enhance the health, safety, welfare, and quality of life of area citizens.

Coleman Municipal Airport recently completed a capital improvement program project in which all the existing pavement surfaces were rehabilitated and painted. A terminal redesign, hangar rehabilitation, installation of security fencing, and remodeling of the pilot's lounge were also part of the improvement program. The airport offers full-time staff for fueling and even provides a car and golf cart for passenger convenience.

The aviation conference was co-hosted by the Texas Department of Transportation and the Texas Airport Management Association. Participants included airport managers, city and county officials and the Federal Aviation Administration and others interested in aviation in Texas.
