WASHINGTON, D.C. –Today Congressman John Salazar announced a U.S. Department of Transportation grant for $1,048,693 to rehabilitate a portion of the general aviation parking apron at Pueblo Memorial Airport.  Rehabilitation of the apron will extend the useful life of the pavement that has severely deteriorated from the effects of age and weather.
