Final steps have now been taken, clearing the way for Sheboygan County to take over as Fixed Base Operations provider for the Sheboygan County Memorial Airport. Services provided to aircraft owners and operators will now be under the name of “Lake Breeze Aviation”. Approval came at Tuesday’s County Board Meeting, concluding a process that began last summer with a vote to acquire the assets of the previous FBO provider, Burrows Aviation LLC. In announcing finalization of the deal on Wednesday, Airport Superintendent Matt Grenoble said that the two entities had been in regular communications in order to ensure a seamless transition and minimize any impact to customers.
Sheboygan County Board Chairman Vernon Koch said of the acquisition that “I am proud of the overwhelming sense of collaboration that has taken place throughout this transition. This change will have a valuable, lasting impact on our community, and I am confident that Lake Breeze Aviation will be a great asset for Sheboygan County.”
The owner of Burrows Aviation noted of the transition that she believed that it “…assures the long-term provision of excellent FBO services at the Sheboygan County Memorial Airport.” She said that they looked forward to working with the County to accomplish a smooth transition, and thanked her current and past employees who worked hard at success in providing Sheboygan County with an essential service.
The full takeover of FBO services by Lake Breeze Aviation becomes official on February 1, 2024.
