CONGRATULATING THE WHITESIDE COUNTY AIRPORT
______
HON. CHERI BUSTOS
of illinois
in the house of representatives
Thursday, April 21, 2016
Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Whiteside County Airport in Rock Falls, IL, which has been recognized as the
``2016 Illinois General Aviation Airport of the Year'' by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Aeronautics.
This award recognizes the Whiteside County Airport for excellence based on a variety of criteria, including their service to the local community, safety record, and coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The airport and its staff have hosted numerous community events in recent years, including Boy Scout Camporees and several ``Last Time'' celebrations for historic aircraft. I applaud the efforts of Airport Manager Michael Dowell, along with the entire staff, for their commitment to excellence for the airport and its facilities.
Mr. Speaker, I again want to congratulate the Whiteside County Airport and its staff for this remarkable achievement and I thank them for their service to our community.
