Wawa's welcoming federal support for the airport to recover from the pandemic.
The government recently announced $332,264 for the airport - a release from the Municipality says it will help with installation of energy-efficient LED runway lights, upgraded electrical connections, illuminated signs, and directional markers, with Mayor Pat Tait noting the runway lights were put into service in 1998, putting them at an age making it difficult to find replacement parts for needed repairs, while the COVID-19 pandemic caused airport revenues to drop more than $80,000 in 2020.
The project's expected to be complete by the end of May.
