Smoother sailing: Arlington airport gets grant to fix runway
ARLINGTON — The main runway at Arlington Municipal Airport will have a new look and feel — and no bumps — thanks to a $2.3 million federal grant.
The Federal Aviation Administration awarded $518 million in federal airport improvement grants this year to airfields around the nation. The grants can only be used for airport infrastructure projects.
The half-billion-dollar total includes $7.3 million to help fund projects at four Western Washington airports: Arlington, Bellingham, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Jefferson County International Airport.
Arlington’s share, $2.3 million, covers most of a $3.2 million project to resurface the airport’s main Runway 16/34, which is 5,332 feet long.
