Howard County Airport awarded grant for construction of hangers

Howard County’s airport has received two grants that total 550,000 dollars.  Jerry Chism, Director of the Arkansas Department of Commerce Aeronautics Division, says the grants will help fund construction of additional hangars, which could put the local airport in position to consistently receive federal funding:

The funding was awarded during a Wednesday meeting of the Arkansas Aeronautics Commission.  Chism says the county will have one year to complete the project.
