Area Airports Get a Fed Lift

Minnesota Senators Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken and Congressman Jim Oberstar say area airports will receive $7,296,344 in grants from the Department of Transportation.
Park Rapids Municipal-Konshok Field will receive $76,000 to construct an access road.

The Pine River Regional Airport has been granted $59,850 to install miscellaneous NAVAIDS and rehabilitate the runway.

Oberstar says, "These are investments that are creating jobs in the short term, but building the infrastructure for a strong economy in the long run. Modern, up-to-date airports are vital to the long term economic health of Greater Minnesota.”
