Nearly $500k in federal grants approved for Jackson Co. Airport

The Jackson County Airport is in line to get almost half-a-million dollars from Uncle Sam, part of more than $13 million in Federal funding from the bipartisan infrastructure law to upgrade and help maintain Georgia’s regional airports.

The Federal funding will support a broad range of development and infrastructure projects across the state to help ensure Georgia’s airports have the resources they need to support local businesses and communities, according to Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.

The Georgia airports benefiting from this latest round of funding and the amount each is receiving are:
