Hickory Airport Among Ten To Receive State Grant Funding
February 26, 2021
During its February meeting, the N.C. Board of Transportation approved state and federal grants for safety and airfield improvement projects at ten North Carolina airports. A local airport is among those to receive funding.
More than $9.5 million in state funding has been awarded for various projects that help the airports increase capacity, attract new jobs and businesses to their communities, and improve safety for pilots and passengers.
$720,000 in state funds were allocated to complete design and environmental work for the repair of the parallel taxiway at Hickory Regional Airport. Hickory’s airport received the third-highest of the ten grants and is the only recipient located in western North Carolina.
