DOT ANNOUNCES GRANT
FOR OWENSBORO AIRPORT IMPROVEMENTS
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Rodney E. Slater today announced the award of $159,300 for improvements at Owensboro-Daviess County Airport in Owensboro, Ky.
"President Clinton is committed to strengthening economic security and improving transportation safety," Secretary Slater said. "These airport improvements will create jobs in the Owensboro area while providing a basis for future economic expansion as air traffic grows."
The grant will be used to improve the terminal building, including expanding the lobby and baggage claim areas and rehabilitating the terminal building’s roof. The funding comes from the Federal Aviation Administration’s Airport Improvement Program.
