The Shawano County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution and memorandum of understanding that will put the Shawano Airport in its rearview mirror in less than a year.
The county will transfer airport ownership and responsibility entirely to the city of Shawano effective Jan. 1, 2025, or upon final approval of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Bureau of Aeronautics, whichever occurs first.
“In short, it’s pretty much that the county is out of the airport business, and the city is solely responsible for the airport,” Board Chairman Tom Kautza said.
