QUOTE Porter County Regional Airport is receiving a Federal Aviation Administration grant of $2.15 million to maintain and enhance the facility, according to a news release from U.S. Rep. Pete Visclosky, D-Merrillville. “This funding enables the Porter County Regional Airport to begin to reconstruct its most important infrastructure asset, its primary east-west runway, which allows the airport to safely and effectively continue to provide its air transportation accessibility to our community and region,” said airport director Kyle Kuebler. Michigan City Municipal Airport received a $541,250 grant from the FAA as well. The grants, according to Visclosky’s office, are part of a multi-step process to maintain and enhance both airports. They were announced Monday. The 2012 Indiana Airports’ Economic Impact Study indicates that Michigan City Municipal Airport has an estimated economic impact of over $52.1 million annually and Porter County Regional Airport has an estimated economic impact of over $17.2 million annually, according to the news release. |
