Appleton Int’l Handles NFL Draft Traffic During Major Expansion Project

Posted by Construction

Earlier this spring, Abram Weber, airport director at Appleton International Airport (ATW), could not help feeling like he was on the clock. This year’s National Football League Draft would be held just up the road (40 minutes north) in Green Bay, WI, and ATW was in the midst of a $66 million expansion called Elevate.

“There’s obviously a ton of excitement and buzz in the greater Fox Valley area for the NFL Draft,” added Jack Kilgore, project manager at Miron Construction, general contractor for the airport’s expansion program. “It’s a big push to make sure that the first phase is done.”
