FAA will provide $2.8 million for runway extension at Auburn Municipal Airport

The Auburn Municipal Airport is about to receive $2,858,343 from the Federal Aviation Administration for its long-in-the-planning runway extension project.

The total award is composed of a $2.7 million grant from the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program for which the city applied Aug. 6, plus $150,000 from AIP’s mandatory funding commitments, which the airport receives every year to apply to whatever projects it has identified.
