WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) announced that Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has awarded $59,000 to the Clermont County Commissioners for expenses related to operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, janitorial services, debt service payments, and combating the spread of pathogens at the airport.
“This grant is important to ensure that Clermont County Airport has the resources it needs to begin recovering from the coronavirus pandemic,” said Brown. “Funding to help combat the spread of pathogens is especially crucial to ensure both passengers and airport employees remain safe and healthy, especially as we see the rise of the Delta variant across the U.S.”
The FAA, which is a part of the Department of Transportation, supports public-use airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) through the Airport Improvement Program. The program supports projects that improve airport safety, capacity, security and environmental impact. More information about the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program can be found here.
