Greenberg Municipal Airport financial report shows balanced accounts and ongoing grant processes

During the recent Board of Aviation Commission meeting in Greensburg, Indiana, members reviewed the financial status of the Greensburg Municipal Airport, highlighting the balances across three key accounts. The airport improvement account currently holds $82,919.21, while the aviation review account has a balance of $94,154.44. The operations account is the most substantial, with $287,468.03, bringing the total combined balance to approximately $464,000.

While there were no action items on the agenda, the board acknowledged the submission of several grant applications, including AIP 21, AIP 23, and AIP 24. These grants are crucial for funding ongoing projects, particularly the apron project, which is currently awaiting further materials from the contractor. The timeline for the project remains uncertain as the contractor has yet to provide a construction schedule, and winter conditions may delay progress.

Additionally, discussions touched on the recent heavy snowfall, which revealed that the airport's snow removal tractor is inadequate for managing large snowfalls. This concern highlights the need for improved equipment to ensure safe operations at the airport during winter weather.

As the board continues to navigate these financial and operational challenges, the focus remains on securing necessary funding and enhancing infrastructure to better serve the community. The next steps will involve monitoring grant approvals and addressing equipment needs to maintain airport functionality.
