Thursday, August 7, 2008
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that the Santa Fe Municipal Airport will receive approximately $1.034 million in federal funding to upgrade the airports fire and rescue station.
Earlier this week, the airport received $1.01 million for this important project; the additional funding released today brings the total to $2,041,250. Upgrades to the current fire station are needed before the airport can begin their new regional jet service. Bingaman last month urged the Federal Aviation Administration to act quickly to approve an environmental assessment that is needed before commercial service can begin.
"This grant funding will help prepare the Santa Fe Municipal Airport for commercial air service," Bingaman said.
Funding was awarded through the U.S. Department of Transportation.
