Arlington airport eyes future, gets $5M in new federal funding
ARLINGTON — Over $5 million in federal funding will go toward rehabilitating asphalt at Arlington Municipal Airport.
Seven airports across Washington received a total of $48 million through the federal Airport Improvement Program, U.S. Sen Maria Cantwell announced Sunday.
The new federal money will pay to fix taxiways at the city-owned airport, parts of which have not been replaced in three decades, said Airport Director Marty Wray. Another ramp dates back to World War II. The asphalt project will cost about $6.7 million in total.
“It’s not falling apart, but it’s not going to last forever,” Wray said. “This is part of our plan to make all our services viable for the foreseeable future.”
