WASHINGTON, D.C. – New federal resources have been awarded to an airport in Butler County. U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) today announced U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) resources to improve the taxiway at Butler County Regional Airport.

“Butler County Regional Airport provides important travel services to Hamilton-area business travelers, flight students, and visitors,” Brown said. “This funding will improve the safety and efficiency of the airport so it can remain a reliable option for air travelers in Southwest Ohio.”

The airport will receive a $154,674 grant to be used for the rehabilitation of the airport’s taxiway. The funding will also remove obstructions in the runway approach surface at the airport.
