them, Beseau is now turning her sights to upgrades that are in the airport’s master plan ahead. “We are talking about doing some lighting upgrades with our signs that we would like to make LEDs and this would be less costly to operate and there would be less likelihood of breakdowns requiring maintenance.” Another project for this upcoming summer is the airport’s planned concrete replacement on its general aviation ramps. “We are going to do a crack ceiling project and cut out some of the cement pads that need to be fixed.” “We are also looking into having a boarding bridge. A jet bridge is always a pleasant amenity for our passengers when it is raining or snowing and you do not have to walk across the concrete to get to your airplane.” Last, on the upcoming list, Beseau highlights are on the land side. The airport is planning through the monies left in the Airport Improvement Grant (AIG) to redo its parking lots and expand its commercial terminal parking lots in the process. 125 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 12, ISSUE 01 CHIPPEWA COUNTY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
