CRESTON – Today (Friday), Rep. Cindy Axne (IA-03) announced a new $4,399,480 grant for the Creston Municipal Airport for a runway renovation. “The continued federal support of our local airports receive allows them to develop and repair vital infrastructure that keeps Iowans safe,” said Congresswoman Axne. “I’m pleased the Creston Municipal Airport is receiving this funding – this money is a direct investment in our growth here in Iowa’s Third District.”

The airport is receiving the funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation to complete a renovation of runway 16/34 and fix ongoing issues related to the aging runway – as well as make subgrade improvements and lay new concrete.

The project is slated to begin in August 2022.
