Summary
In January 2002, a Beaver Beacon report said Kevin White requested the name “Welke Road” for a new road running along the runway at Welke’s Airport. The report records a motion and second approving the name and notes that a road-construction permit was required from the Charlevoix County Road Commission.
The item establishes a naming action and the airport/runway setting, but not a surveyed centerline, road dedication, or complete planning record.
