SNYDER ANNOUNCES FUNDS TO IMPROVE AIRPORTS IN LITTLE ROCK, CLINTON, AND CONWAY WASHINGTON, D.C.-United States Representative Vic
Snyder (AR-02) announced today that the U.S. Department of Transportation
has allocated nearly $5 million to improve three airports in the 2nd
Congressional District.
"These funds will help Adams Field, Clinton Municipal, and Cantrell
Field better serve the needs of the community as well as contribute to
the area's economic health," Congressman Snyder said.
Adams Field in Little Rock will receive $4.6 million to extend the
taxiway and improve the runway safety area. Runway safety will be improved
by the installation of an Engineered Material Arresting System and by the
realignment of Taxiway "A" to provide a standard geometric taxiway layout.
Clinton Municipal Airport in Clinton will receive $145,800 to conduct
an airport master plan study and to install weather-reporting equipment.
The airport master plan project will determine the best course of action
for future airport development. The Automated Weather Observation System
installation project will improve airport safety by providing current
local weather conditions for the aviation community.
Dennis F. Cantrell Field in Conway will receive $100,000 to conduct
an environmental study. The environmental assessment and cost benefit
analysis for a new airport will determine the feasibility of replacing
the existing airport.
