Dane County airport getting $2.6M from infrastructure bill
By: Associated Press//July 13, 2022//
The Dane County Regional Airport will receive $2.6 million from the federal infrastructure bill to resurface pavement, install LED traffic lights and undertake other projects.
The Dane County airport is the only recipient in Wisconsin of money from an allocation announced last week of nearly $1 billion for airport improvements throughout the U.S. Besides resurfacing pavement and installing 400 LED traffic lights, the $2.6 million Dane County is receiving will go toward providing better bus access and safety, improving signs and guidance and changing traffic patterns in a way meant to reduce emissions.
Several airports in states bordering Wisconsin – Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota – are set to benefit from the federal money. One of the biggest recipients, the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, will get $49.6 million for a long list of improvement projects.
