Jim Reported the Following for the Annual Report: Annual Sauk Prairie Airport Inc. Report
The airport is open and as of today financially sound. It would appear that the community through the Sauk Prairie Comprehensive Plan which the final draft is due in January 2005 or so sees the airport being there for the next 20 years.
