Wittman field (KOSH) to expand by 200 acres?

I found this interesting. I wonder if this includes that eyesore farm near the gate by the ultralights.

Isn't Brennard Farm where the seaplane base is located? Might allow some more permanent improvements if it is acquired.

I'm not sure. I think the proposed property acqusition on both the southeast and southwest is adjacent to the airport, but I think the seaplane base is a little farther away. I think there are some roads and a fair amount of land between the airport and Lake Winnebago.

The attached picture is of the land and lake East of KOSH during climb out from runway 9 (not during AirVenture). I think the seaplane base is in that area.

Kent may know and chime in as I think he spent some time there.

Not the seaplane base. The Seaplane Base is private land which is owned by the Vette and Blust families. http://www.oshkoshseaplanebase.com/

The county has eyed the purchase of two properties, the 115.7-acre Brennand Farm to the southeast of the airport and the 78.9-acre Glaatz farm to the southwest of the airport, and has secured appraisals on both parcels.

Brennand (79C) is in the Neenah outskirts, and it's owned by Ted VanderWielen.

Oops. You said farm.
