University Park Airport to undergo renovations
The University Park Airport was awarded a $1.24 million grant earlier this month for renovating and expanding the terminal.
The money was appropriated through a Capitol Budget grant.
The airport will match the funds granted by the state to complete
the project, said Bob Dannaker, airport manager.
He also said the airport requested a grant from the state for
renovations that will include erecting a new building to be used
by passengers who fly on small corporate planes.
The current building was constructed in the mid-'70s, and the
airport has outgrown the facility, he said.
Dannaker said the project would have been unable to progress without
the state grant.
The new building will present a front door for visitors arriving
in Happy Valley, Dannaker said.
