Washington, DC– U.S. Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) today announced that the City of Madison will receive a $66,500 federal grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the Madison Municipal Airport.
"This funding will improve transportation conditions at the Madison Municipal Airport," Johnson said. "As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I support ongoing efforts to improve travel conditions in and around South Dakota to help provide our communities with continued economic development opportunities. A key part of my Hometown Prosperity Plan is investing in the public good, and this funding is a great example of that kind of investment.”
Federal funds will allow for the construction of a parallel taxiway at the Madison Municipal Airport.
This funding comes from the Airport Improvement Program (AIP), which enhances safety at our airports and strengthens economic development in our communities. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Senator Johnson will work to keep funding for this important program strong as the appropriation process gets underway.
