The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Great Lakes Region awarded a $246,430 Project Grant to the City of Park River, North Dakota under the Airport Improvement Program, COVID-19 Airports Programs, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The grant will fund the reconstruction and replacement of critical airport infrastructure at the Park River Municipal Airport, including runway and taxiway lighting systems, airport beacon, airfield guidance signs, a runway vertical/visual guidance system, and an airport lighting vault.
