Washington DC<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley today announced a federal investment of $1.29 million for Bend Municipal Airport toward construction of a new air traffic control tower.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Bend Municipal Airport is an important part of Central Oregon\u2019s robust, local economy,\u201d\u00a0dijo Wyden.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a gateway to expansion for small businesses who can ship their products quickly, or bring in potential clients or investors to witness the grandeur of Central Oregon firsthand. I\u2019m gratified to see an investment that will help local entrepreneurs\u2019 ideas take flight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLos aeropuertos regionales son fundamentales para la seguridad y el \u00e9xito de las comunidades en todo el estado\u201d,\u00a0dijo Merkley.\u00a0<\/strong>\u202f\u201cThese federal investments to support the construction of a permanent control tower at the Bend Airport will help ensure the region has the infrastructure necessary to support and promote air travel for Oregon businesses, flight training students, and tourists.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The $1.29 million is an investment by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under its Contract Tower Competitive Grant Program, which was created by theLey de Infraestructura Bipartidista<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI wish to thank Senators Wyden and Merkley along with Congresswoman\u00a0Chavez-DeRemer for their continued support. This $1,290,000 grant will fund a portion of the construction of a Traffic Control Tower at the Bend Airport creating good paying jobs and further boost the local economy while enhancing safety,\u201d\u00a0said Tracy Williams, Airport Manager.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
