Airport to get grant to improve safety
Darrington Municipal Airport is set to receive more than $84,000 from the state to remove a building to create a safety zone around its runway.
The airport is one of 26 around the state this year to receive a share of nearly $12 million in federal, state and local funds, according to the state. Most of the money, part of an annual program for airports, goes to maintaining runways, taxiways and tarmacs, and improving safety and security.
Of that amount the state Department of Transportation contributed $1.1 million through its Airport Aid Grant Program, and used $433,290 in state funds to leverage more than $9 million in federal grants.
Darrington is the only Snohomish County airport to receive money from the fund this year. The complete list is available at http://tinyurl.com/AirportGrants.
