Runways Need More Than FAA Allows
The city council approved a $200,000 federal grant and plans to apply for $26,750 state funds to resurface Hurd Memorial Airport runways. Local funds of $22,000 plus the grants total $253,500, but the bid was $435,000, so remaining work will be limited. The Texas Aeronautics Commission may match local funds to boost the total.
