Marion Airport seeks grant aid to upgrade and fund operation
Marion City Council considers FAA grant for land costs only, pausing air activity during two years of construction. Private donors pledge half of 500000 dollars, easing tax concerns. Start up costs for a new operator may reach two million dollars, with appraisal costs looming before January council action.

Ankeny airport inspires Marion airport development
The Ankeny Regional Airport is a success story fueling Marion’s plans for an FAA funded upgrade. The 500-acre Metro North Business Park around it hosts Casey’s General Stores and Tone’s Spice, Standard Bearings and Delta Dental offices. The Ankeny site opened in 1994 with 80 aircraft and aims for 100 by spring.
