Jefferson County plans to construct a Military Training, Transition and Courtesy Center at Watertown International Airport in Hounsfield. The project is part of the county’s 2027-2032 capital plan and is budgeted at $9.3 million. County Administrator Piche stated the center would provide a dedicated waiting space for military personnel and serve as a backup if Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield becomes congested. The county will contribute $900,000, but the project requires $8.4 million in state funding.
