Franklin
County commissioners last week approved a federal grant for the
Apalachicola airport.
The
Apalachicola airport will receive 30 thousand dollars through
The coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also
known as the CARES Act.
The
grant was announced by the federal government in April but was only
recently received by the county.
The
Apalachicola Airport is one of 100 across the state that will get the
federal money to help cover the costs of responding to the COVID-19
pandemic.
This
funding is designed to help airports 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.
