Decorah Airport receives state grant

Posted: Mon, Jul 19, 2010 2:21 PM

decorahnews.com reported on last Wednesday that the Iowa Transportation Commission has approved nearly $4.7 million in grants to help pay for projects at airports throughout the state, including in Decorah.  Now new details of that grant are available.

The Iowa Transportation Commission had announced that the State of Iowa would pay $129,200 of the cost of a $152,000 project at the Decorah Airport.  However, part of that project involved improvements to the fuel system, so airplane pilots can have self-service fuel.  The state since decided it would not pay for that portion of the project, meaning the new grant amount will be $117,000 of a total cost of $137,000.  .
