Local Airports Get Funding

Two area airports are among 16 in Ohio that will receive infrastructure grants from the Federal Aviation Administration. Officials say the FAA will award $986 million in airport infrastructure grants, the fifth allotment of the total $3.1 billion in Airport Improvement Program funding for airports across the United States. That now includes $448,443 to Fulton County Airport in Wauseon for a snow removal equipment building. In addition, Toledo Express Airport in Swanton will receive $2.82 million for taxiway rehabilitation.
