U.S. Senator Jerry Moran announced yesterday $14 million in grants from the United States Department of Transportation for repairs updates and expansions at 24 Kansas airports, including the Ottawa Municipal Airport. Ottawa was awarded $91,935 to install a new wind-cone and segmented circle navigational aids to provide pilots with critical airfield information.
Moran says Kansas airports are vital to the Regional Economies throughout Kansas, connecting communities large and small and providing necessary supplies and emergency medical services for rural areas across the state. The grants will help fund needed repairs and expansions to multiple Kansas airports to continue providing efficient service to Kansas and continued development throughout the State.
The wind cone and navigational aids at the Ottawa Airport are part of a long-term plan for improvements, all of which are considered vital to continued economic development.
