Big Grant Will Fix Airport Runway Issues
14 May 2019
A large federal grant with no match required will enable Grant County to “decouple” its two runways and make takeoffs and landings safer.
The $6.25 million grant was secured through the federal Department of Transportation’s Airport Improvement Program.
U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Oregon, voted to increase funding for the program and direct more grants to rural airports in the Federal Aviation Administration’s Reauthorization Act in 2018.
