Sawyer to receive money for improvements

SAWYER, MI--   U.S. Senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters have announced Sawyer International Airport in Marquette County is getting a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration. 

The $702,900 will be used to install runway fencing and rehabilitate the runway itself. 

“Travelers to and from the Upper Peninsula count on Sawyer International Airport for safe and reliable transportation,” Peters says.  “This funding will make important improvements to the airport’s overall safety and operations and will encourage economic growth in the region.”
