Twp. discuss preserving Woolsey airport

Leelanau Township is considering its next steps in helping to restore the historic Woolsey Memorial Airport in Northport.

A decision on how much funds they have dedicated towards the restoration project could be decided as soon as next month.

The township board of trustees met for their regular monthly meeting Jan. 10 after the original date had to be rescheduled a day later. During discussion, the board listened to a presentation about airport rehabilitation plans from Mike Krueger, a licensed structural engineer helping to organize the restoration project, as well as township parks and recreation committee members.
