The Keokuk Municipal Airport in Iowa has received about $300 thousand dollars in government funds to go toward much needed repairs for the ailing runway. This is just one example of many in recent times of airports attempting to make the necessary adjustments and repairs in order to be able to provide the service that their customers need.
In the case of Keokuk Municipal, the runways needed repaving and the hanger needed to be upgraded in order for the airport to stay functional, but necessary upgrades in many of the nations smaller airports go beyond building and ground maintenance to the replacement or necessary upgrade of equipment.
Smaller airports are really feeling the crunch from the poor economy and need every advantage they can get in order to remain operational – and as is evident by the necessity of government funding to make major repairs, the old adage seems to be true. “You’ve got to spend money to make money.”
