ESCANABA, MI-- The Delta County Airport is getting $269,562 from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The grant will be used to rehabilitate runways and purchase new aircraft rescue and firefighting equipment.
It comes through the FAA’s Runway Incursion Mitigation Program, which aims to reduce the risk of people, vehicles, or aircraft entering the protected areas of an airport. The FAA has developed an updated inventory of airport locations where runway incursions have occurred and is now working with airports on mitigation strategies.
