County Supervisors Agree To Precede With Airport Upgrading
Whiteside County funds would back a 903370 dollar airport upgrade to widen and resurface the main runway. The plan calls for half the cost from the federal government and half from the state, with the county’s share not exceeding 226000. Work start awaits federal and state approval, and earlier tax proceeds and rebates for land purchases help finance the project.
