The wildlife management fencing is an important tool in controlling animals such as deer and bears on airport runways and surrounding land, while the snowblower will ensure the timely and effective removal of snow, slush and ice from runways and taxiways. This funding is in addition to previous funding last year of $31,457 for the purchase of a runway condition reporting system which will provide timely, accurate and precise wireless reporting and recording of runway conditions.
