Rep. Annette Glenn, R-Midland, today applauded the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for awarding $30,000 to Jack Barstow Municipal Airport in response to COVID-19.

The funding is part of the Trump Administration’s newly-created Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act airport grant program. The support will help continue airport operations and replace lost proceeds from the decrease in passengers and other business due to the coronavirus.

“I thank President Trump for stepping up to help the people who run and use our local airport and the impact it has on our local economy,” Glenn said. “This emergency funding will help save jobs and help ensure it can return to full operation once the virus has been contained.”

Rep. Glenn and her staff are working remotely during the pandemic and encourage residents to reach out with any questions or concerns at 517-373-1791 or by email at [email protected].
