Madras Airport Receives $2.5M Federal Grant

MADRAS, OR -- The Madras Airport will receive a $2.5 million federal grant to reconstruct its taxiway. It’s the largest amount awarded to Oregon airports in a recent round of grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation, totaling $5.8 million.

 

Madras Airport Manager Rob Berg says the runway was rebuilt three years ago, but it’s been 25 years since the same work was done on the taxiway. Airports in Baker City, Bandon, Roseburg and Hillsboro also received money for repairs and safety upgrades.
