Orlando Sanford gets $9.2M
Orlando Business Journal
U.S. Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., has announced that Orlando Sanford International Airport will receive more than $9.2 million in federal grant funding for runway improvement and expansion projects.
About $8.2 million of the grant money will be used to rehabilitate the surface of the airport's main runway, while $1 million will be used for land purchases associated with the expansion of another runway.
The funding will be provided through the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program, which is funded by the collection of airplane ticket taxes and user fees.
Orlando Sanford International is the second busiest general aviation airport in the Southeast and eighth busiest in that category in the country.
