| recognize the Port Isabel-Cameron County Airport, which has been | ||
| named the 2013 Most Improved Airport by the Texas Department of | ||
| Transportation; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Port Isabel-Cameron County Airport was | ||
| originally constructed during World War II for use as a United | ||
| States Army Air Corps facility; after the war, it served as a | ||
| Naval Auxiliary Air Station until 1963, when it was deactivated | ||
| and deeded to Cameron County; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In 2003, the county embarked on an extensive | ||
| program of renovation that included the installation of improved | ||
| runway lighting and the construction of eight new T-hangars and a | ||
| new terminal building; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The highlight of the improvements has been the | ||
| complete restoration of the airport's original 1942 maintenance | ||
| hangar, which was damaged by Hurricane Dolly in 2008; and | ||
| WHEREAS, While once neglected, the Port Isabel-Cameron | ||
| County Airport has undergone numerous upgrades and has now been | ||
| transformed into a modern, popular destination airport; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend the Cameron | ||
| County commissioners, the Cameron County Department of | ||
| Transportation, and the Texas Department of Transportation | ||
| Aviation Division on the Airport Development Plan for the Port | ||
| Isabel-Cameron County Airport and extend congratulations to all | ||
| associated with the airport's renovation on earning the 2013 Most | ||
| Improved Airport award; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the airport as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
