Jeff Bingaman United States Senator from New Mexico

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman announced today that Grants-Milan Municipal Airport will receive a $290,326 grant from the Federal Aviation Administration.

The grant will finance a new Automated Weather Operation System (AWOS) – a system that will provide accurate, up-to-date information of surrounding weather systems.

"This grant will allow the airport to make a significant safety upgrade, which will benefit everyone who travels through the Grants-Milan Municipal Airport," Bingaman said.
