Moore Airport Receives Grant Coble Says

(WASHINGTON, D.C.)----Speaking in Pinehurst today, U.S. Rep. Howard Coble (R-NC) announced that the Moore County Airport will receive a federal grant to complete some necessary repairs. Congressman Coble, who represents Moore County in the U.S. House, said he had just received notification that the county's airport will receive a $200,000 grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Rep. Coble said the FAA discretionary grant will be used to repair the airport's apron area. "I am pleased that we are able to announce this worthwhile funding program today while we are in Moore County," Rep. Coble stated. "We have been working with airport officials for some time to bring needed service to the airport and this grant will allow us to continue working towards that goal."

Michael Nash of the Moore County Airport Authority said that work on the apron repairs will begin in a couple of months and should take about one month to complete once started. Mr. Nash said the $200,000 would be used to repair cracks and tears in the apron.

Congressman Coble made the FAA grant announcement today while speaking to a group at the Country Club of North Carolina in Pinehurst. Rep. Coble made several other stops in Moore County today, including an appearance on WEEB-AM's morning program.
