167 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE NOVEMBER 2020 THE GRANT COUNTY REGIONAL A I RPORT terminal.” Money for the recent decoupling and apron reconstruction projects came from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Oregon Department of Aviation. Grant County Regional Airport was one of only two airports in Oregon to receive supplemental funding for recent projects without having to provide a match. There are plenty of projects on the table for the next five to ten years, such as helipad construction and land acquisition for control of the Runway Object Free Area and Runway Protection Zone. Taxiway A will eventually be rehabilitated; that will include the installation of a new Medium Intensity Taxiway Lighting System and widening the taxiway to 35 feet with additional connectors as needed. A new taxiway, known as Taxiway C, is expected to be built on the west side of the north/south Runway 17/35 with associated connectors. This will allow for additional development in the area and through-the-fence operations from the industrial park.
