The N.C. Board of Transportation has approved state and federal funding for safety and airfield improvement projects at 10 North Carolina airports.
State funds totaling $12.75 million have 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. The board approved the funds during its March 4 meeting.
At Moore County Airport, funds will go towards a full overhaul of the existing airfield lighting system and signage, which had begun to fade with age. With the United States Golf Association moving their headquarters to the region and the U.S. Open Golf Tournament now coming to Pinehurst on a regular basis, airport manager Scotty Malta sees the need for the airport to keep up with the regionâs growth.
