“Ensuring Iowa’s airports have the resources they need to update, repair, or replace their facilities is important to maintain safety and efficiency of operations,” said Harkin. “The funding announced today will help ensure that several airports across the state are well-equipped. I congratulate them on this competitive funding.”
Details of the funding are as follows:
Cedar Rapids Airport– $6,051,490 to renovate the main terminal lobby ticketing, waiting, and baggage claim areas to improve passenger circulation and operation.
Fort Dodge Regional Airport– $450,000 to rehabilitate a runway.
LeMars Municipal Airport– $50,839 to design the rehabilitation of the existing terminal apron pavement.
