Airports affect employment directly and indirectly and serve as a catalyst for economic growth due to their capacity to move people and cargo. The economic benefits can only be reaped, however, when airports are maintained (and funded) properly and utilized by consumers, which is why the FAA grants will be such a blessing for our state.
When operated efficiently, smaller, local airports (most of the recipients of the FAA grants), facilitate regional economic development. The grants are aimed to do just that – provide maintenance funds so the airports can maximize efficiency and productivity. Thank you to Senator Shelby and to all of the policymakers who worked on behalf of Alabamians to improve aviation in both urban and rural areas. http://www.alreporter.com/2018/07/20/shelby-announces-25-5-million-for-statewide-airport-infrastructure/ Comments are closed.
