Sawyer International receives funding for improvements

SAWYER, MI--   Marquette County is getting money from the Federal Aviation Administration for Sawyer International Airport. 

Just over $175,000 will be used to rehabilitate runways, improve structural integrity, and remove debris at the airport.

The money comes through the FAA’s Runway Incursion Mitigation Program, which helps airports identify, prioritize, and develop strategies to mitigate risk.
