Congressman Dave Loebsack announced Tuesday that the Centerville Municipal Airport will receive a $48,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration grant program. The funding will be used for the design phase for construction of taxiway turnaround areas to assist the airport in meeting design standards.
“Our local airports play a critical role in allowing our communities to grow, as well as fuel additional economic development in the region,” said Loebsack. “I am pleased that the Centerville Municipal Airport is receiving this competitive grant, which will allow the airport to continue functioning safely and effectively.”
