More Funds Now Needed For Airport
Frederick city officials say additional funds from federal state or local sources will be required to finish airport work as the seeding of the field progresses. The current federal appropriation of 150000 has been exhausted, with no definite new funding in sight. The project is paused as veterans housing construction takes priority, delaying runway paying and next steps. The seeding contract by Southern Construction Company, Greensboro, NC was completed except for removing loose stones. Officials hope rains boost grass growth and planes can use the field during growth. cars will be barred from the newly seeded area. It is unlikely any further airport work will begin before next year at the earliest.
