Savannah-Hardin County Airport gets grant for taxiway repairs

Aug. 13– Governor Phil Bredesen announced Thursday that an aeronautics grant in the amount of $7,875 has been approved for the Savannah-Hardin County Airport.

"From moving people to moving freight, the airports in Tennessee are vital pieces of the state’s overall economy and travel system," said Bredesen.

"Tennessee’s airports are often the front doors to our communities, welcoming visitors from across the globe, so it’s important to keep them up to date in order to stay competitive and efficient at meeting the needs of both businesses and travelers," he said.

Funds from the grant will be used for emergency repairs to concrete on the airport’s taxiway.

 

The grants are made available through the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s Aeronautics Division.

State Sen. Dolores Gresham and State Rep. Vance Dennis helped secure the funds for the Savannah-Hardin County Airport.
