Redmond Airport receives $6 million in American Rescue Plan relief funding
Prineville Airport receives $32,000
WASHINGTON (KTVZ) – Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said Friday that airports in Redmond and Prineville have earned a combined $6.1 million from the American Rescue Plan Act for operations, concessions, personnel and sanitation.
“Rural airports serve as critical connectors for every nook and cranny of Oregon, and ARPA dollars will serve to benefit the local economy as more and more people travel to experience Central Oregon’s world-class recreation,” Wyden said in a news release. “I’m gratified that Redmond and Prineville have secured this federal support to combat the pandemic-induced decreases in revenue, so that we can continue to support these airports as essential resources to the region.”
