Airport authority seeks county backing for $6.5 million Frosty Jones terminal project
Summary
The Airport Authority told commissioners it has a $3.3 million federal grant for the Frosty Jones Aviation Terminal but needs $3.2 million in state and local matching funds; commissioners agreed to provide a letter of support and noted the authority will request funding from County Council.
Airport Director Travis McQueen and Airport Board members Jim Hunsicker and Mary E. “Becky” Beckman appeared before the commissioners on May 6 to outline plans for the Frosty Jones Aviation Terminal.
The Airport Authority reported receipt of a $3.3 million federal grant and said the project requires approximately $3.2 million in state and local contributions to proceed. McQueen requested county funding assistance and a formal letter of support; commissioners agreed to provide a letter and noted the Airport Authority will present its funding request to the County Council.
The Airport Authority said it is pursuing additional funding opportunities beyond the federal grant. The minutes record consensus to supply a letter of support but do not document a specific county funding commitment—formal appropriation, if requested, will be considered by the County Council.
