The U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded $1,782,322 under the fiscal year 2024 Airport Improvement Program (AIG) to the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority.
The award will be utilized for the acquisition of two multi-tasking snow removal units at the airport. Disbursed by the Federal Aviation Administration, this funding will significantly enhance the airport’s ability to maintain clear and safe airfield operations during adverse weather conditions.
“I am thrilled to announce this critical funding for the Eugene F. Kranz Toledo Express Airport. The acquisition of these snow removal units is essential to ensure the safety and efficiency of our airport operations during winter weather,” said U.S. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur.
“This investment not only enhances our airport’s capabilities, but also honors the legacy of Eugene Kranz, a true American hero whose contributions to space exploration continue to inspire us all,” she added.
