Reid Announces $4.3 Million for Nevada Rural Airports

Press Release

Nevada Senator Harry Reid today announced a grant package from the Federal Aviation Administration totaling $4,348,438. Eleven grants have been awarded to 10 rural Nevada general aviation airports for airfield improvements. The funding for these grants came from the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2012, which Senator Reid championed through the Senate.

"A state like ours--with vast amounts of rural area--depends heavily on our rural airports as an economic driver for the region. Aviation safety must always be ensured, and airport infrastructure is vital to the safe operations of any air carrier. As always, I remain committed to Nevada's general aviation, and to ensure that Nevada's airports have the resources available to remain safe, and useable for all."
