This is the aircraft parking area located between the International Arrivals building and the Joint - Use Military aircraft parking area. The area still has the original pavement constructed by the military and has exceeded its useful life expectancy. This area is a safety hazard due to the potential for aircraft to ingest pavement debris into aircraft engines. The Srant will fund 95% of the project with the remaining 5% being split between the Airport and the State. Rebecca L. Hupp Department Head Manager's Comments: Airpot staff" has worked diligently to seek award of these discretionary FAA funds in addition to the City's normal Airport Improvement Program allotment. This both allows the project to be completed sooner than scheduled and allows normal funds that would have been applied to it to be used for other purposes. U.
