DUBUQUE, Iowa (KWWL) – The Dubuque Regional Airport has received more than $500,000 dollars in a federal grant.

The money was given to the airport to provide updates and maintenance to existing structures. Robert Grierson, Dubuque Regional Airport Manger, said that the grant will be used towards goals in their master plan.

“What do you we need for the future? And are we positioned? Or do we need to start forecasting for some construction and development,” said Grierson.

They hope to have everything completed within two years.
