Funding for Lorain County Airport

Congresswoman Kaptur said the Lorain County Regional Airport has received an award of $246,465 from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to rehabilitate the existing taxiway pavement that has reached the end of its useful life.

“The airport is the front door to the community,” said Congresswoman Kaptur. “In an era of multi-modal transportation, a top quality airport is crucial to economic development.”

Kaptur said improvements at the Lorain County Regional Airport since 2004 have included runway rehabilitation and overlay, pavement marking and crack sealing at Runway 7-25 (which is 5,002 feet long), overlay and extension of the tarmac, plus addition of a de-icing facility, new snow removal equipment, and improvements to the airport lighting system.
