Washington, D.C. - Congressman Dave Loebsack announced today that the Muscatine Municipal Airport will receive a $509,326 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration grant program. The funding will be used to design the rehabilitation of a runway, which is needed to maintain structural integrity of the pavement and to minimize debris.
"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 Muscatine Municipal Airport is receiving this competitive grant, which will allow the airport to continue functioning safely and effectively."
