DOT ANNOUNCES GRANT
FOR MUSKEGON AIRPORT IMPROVEMENTS
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Rodney E. Slater today announced the award of $63,150 for improvements at Muskegon County Airport in Muskegon, Mich.
"President Clinton is committed to strengthening economic security and improving transportation safety," Secretary Slater said. "These airport improvements will create jobs in the Muskegon area while providing a basis for future economic expansion as air traffic grows."
The grant will be used to develop plans and specifications for the rehabilitation and expansion of the existing snow removal equipment building, which will improve the efficiency of snow removal operations at the airport. The funding comes from the Federal Aviation Administration’s Airport Improvement Program.
