Through the FAA Airport Improvement Program Account, which will go towards Montgomery County Airport. Montgomery County Airport’s existing asphalt pavement is in need of rehabilitation. After years of use, the asphalt has become highly oxidized, brittle, and in several areas its pavement is cracking. It also needs to be strengthened to meet a maximum single wheel load of 12,500 pounds of today’s light jets. The airport plays an important role for Montgomery County in many different areas including business, tourism, flight training, entertainment, crime fighting, fire fighting, and search and rescue, and also benefits the state economy. In addition, funding for this project will help local, state, and federal governments to improve air traffic safety.
