The Seymour Municipal Airport Advisory Board had met on April 8, 2021 followed by a City Council meeting on the 21st of April, to discuss this project with Consultant Larry Valdez. The purpose of this correspondence was to inform TxDOT Aviation that the City of Seymour currently has funding in place to immediately move forward with the design of this project. This is the second phase to this much needed project as the airport has been neglected for many years. The City would also be responsible with a 10% match.
The City of Seymour was also interested in any available funding to assist in and with this project.
