The grant will help the airport pay for the purchase of a sand spreader, a snow plow, aircraft rescue and fire fighting suits, and improvements to the airport’s runway.
The Airport Improvement Program, a federal-grant program that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) administers, is providing the funding for the grant.
