The Apalachicola Airport is one of 100 across the state that will get federal money to help cover the costs of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Apalachicola airport will receive 30 thousand dollars through The Corona virus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act.

This funding is being distributed to airports to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the impacts of the COVID-19 public health emergency.

The local airport was selected for emergency funding for its role as a regional general aviation airport.

And just for comparison, the Florida airport receiving the most funding is Miami International Airport at nearly $207 million dollars.
