By replacing all the signs, the Airport will be able to transition to LED lighted signs and the signs will all be by the same manufacturer thus simplifying maintenance and parts inventory. This item was noted by the FAA inspector on our annual FAA Part 139 inspection and she recommended this course of action. The grant will fund 95% of the project with the remaining 5% being split between the Airport and the State. Rebecca L.
