HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Pieter Miller with the Hutchinson Airport told Hutch Post that they are still seeking federal funds for a new control tower.
"We did not receive the grant for the second go-round," Miller said. "However, they did supply us some information that ought to make us a little more competitive for the next grant session for the control towers and we'll be going over that."
The Airport Advisory Committee meets Tuesday afternoon at 4 p.m.
"The grant will be available for three more years," Miller said. "We'll have three more opportunities to apply for it."
The airport applied for $4.5 million in grant funding for the control tower. This grant would be a 90/10 grant split with the FAA, with a local match of $450,000.
