\"\"Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Regional Airport was among those finalized by the North Dakota Aeronautics Commission for a share of approximately $9.7 million in state infrastructure grant allocations to multiple public airports throughout North Dakota.<\/p>\n

$2.7 million of the allocation was made from the Aeronautics Commission Special Fund where the primary revenue source for these grants is derived from state tax collections on aviation fuel and aircraft sales. These state grants are critical in maintaining the needed infrastructure to support the aviation industry, which is a major contributor to the state\u2019s economy and standard of living.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Regional Airport received $28,409.09 that will be used to help upgrade the windsock, purchase a mower and a forklift, and 2013 Airport Layout Plan & Master Plan update.<\/p>\n

141 individual projects received grant awards at 55 different public-use airports throughout the state. $7 million of the allocation is being made as a part of a $20 million-dollar transfer that the state legislature approved in the last legislative session from the Strategic Investment and Improvement Fund (SIIF) to provide assistance with the large-scale projects that are ongoing at both the Watford City Airport and the Dickinson Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport.<\/p>\n

North Dakota\u2019s airports have recently seen a significant impact in travel demand due to the COVID-19 virus. The dramatic drop in passengers, has in turn, created financial concerns for airports that depend on passengers for revenue. The recently passed CARES Act is expected to provide North Dakota\u2019s airports with up to $85 million dollars of federal assistance to help provide relief during these difficult times.<\/p>\n

North Dakota Aeronautics Commission Director, Kyle Wanner says,\u201cThese state airport grant allocations will help to leverage and supplement the federal funding being received for high priority airport projects within North Dakota while at the same time ensuring that our statewide aviation system is being maintained. These grants will also help to create jobs within our communities and will greatly assist our airports in preparing them to be in a better position to help our economy rebound, once the COVID-19 virus concerns have subsided.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
