LEXINGTON â The Lexington Airport received $452,000 from the Federal Aviation Administration as part of a grant intended to improve airports statewide, according to a press release from the offices of U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley.Â
The grants provided 16 Oregon airports with about $10.3 million to prepare for winter weather, repair runways, improve guidance systems and perimeter fencing, and make other improvements.
Lexington Airport received funds to install a guidance system for the runway and improve the airportâs pavement.
âOregonians living and working in communities large and small need safe and modern airport services for commerce that supports local jobs as well as for quality of life,â Wyden said. âThe importance of federal investments in infrastructure like these local airports is especially crucial when Oregon small businesses and families are working hard to weather the economic fallout from this public health crisis.â
