SALISBURY – The extension of an airport runway, the relocation of a weigh station and a feasibility study for the Salisbury bypass continue to top the county’s list of priority transportation projects submitted to the state.
Last week, Public Works Deputy Director Mark Whitelock and Salisbury Airport Manager Tony Rudy presented the Wicomico County Council with a draft of the county’s priority letter for recommended transportation improvements. The letter, to be approved by the council at its next meeting, will be sent to the Maryland Department of Transportation for consideration.
Rudy noted that two airport projects – a runway extension and air traffic control tower upgrades – have been included in the list of recommended improvements this year. He said the runway extension would allow for larger aircraft to utilize the airport, while tower upgrades would address water leaks and aging communications equipment.
“This year we’ve reduced the amount of projects we’ve asked for because we do have some CARES funding that’s going to help us along here,” he said. “These things are ever-evolving, ever-changing, but the two most important projects we have is our runway extension – which we really want to push for – and our air traffic control tower.”
Whitelock said the priority letter also features several road and facility improvements, including a traffic signal study at the intersection of Snow Hill Road and Nutters Cross Road, a drainage improvement study along Nanticoke Road and an access management study for Wor-Wic Community College.
As a Wicomico County taxpayer and voter, I want to know who the Hell allowed Jake Day to put up that G** Da** Gay Pride flag up on the flag poles at the Wicomico County Government Office Building? The person needs to fired who ever allowed that!
We had a prior County Executive let the democrap masses push him into removing the General Winder monument and the current C.E. caved to the democraps to let them put up a memorial for 3 black criminals. WTF!!!!
Let’s start a referendum to place on the next election ballot to remove the Wicomico County Executive Office! This is a $950,000 wasted county expenditure that this county does not need! The county is running fine with just the administrator.
