HAZLETON, PA — The City Council accepted a $1.3 million Aviation Grant Tuesday night to fund a Runway Safety Area at the City Airport.
As part of the agreement, 5 percent of the project, or $70,000, must be paid for with funds from airport revenues.
A contract for the project was awarded to the only bidder, Hazleton Site Contractors, a member of the H&K Group.
