Rep. Mike Ross (D-Ark.) announced Friday that the Department of Transportation
has approved an aviation grant worth $58,500 for Dexter B. Florence Memorial
Field in Arkadelphia.
“This is great news for our airport,” Ross said. “The funding will allow the airport to acquire land necessary for a runway protection zone in the approaches. Right now conditions at the north end of the airport create a safety hazard for pilots trying to land at night. This grant will help to give them a clear path at Dexter B. Florence Memorial Field, making it safer for pilots and passengers coming into Arkadelphia.” |
