Congressman Dave Loebsack announced today that the Oskaloosa Municipal Airport will receive a $64,800 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant program. The funding will be used to construct 310 feet of drainage improvements necessary to adequately handle storm water runoff.
“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 Oskaloosa Municipal Airport is receiving this competitive grant, which will allow the airport to continue functioning safely and effectively.”
