Osceola Secures Federal Grant for Airport Project
Osceola gains a federal grant of more than 4500 dollars for an airport at the 160 acre site south of the county poor farm. A federal agent visited last week and city leaders say the project completes weeks of effort by Mayor Pierson, the council, and the community club. Twenty percent of funds go to materials, the rest to hand labor as Osceola joins a coast to coast program to promote aviation and national defense.
