The U.S. Department of Transportation awarded the following grants: $6,085,230 to Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority (Pangborn Memorial) to reconstruct the apron and apron lighting. $1,034,619 to the City of Yakima (Yakima Air Terminal/McAllister Field) to rehabilitate the apron. $2,671,267 to the Port of Benton (Richland) to acquire or rehabilitate an emergency generator, install airfield guidance signs, and install miscellaneous navigational aids. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:11:17Z |
