Ukiah council approves 16000 match for 20000 airport grant
Ukiah city council unanimously votes to match 16000 of federal funds to extend the Municipal Airport runway from 4000 to 5000 feet. The action follows a Washington bill granting 22 million for airport construction nationwide, with California expected to receive about 10 percent.
