Federal Uncertainty Could Push Back Completion of Airport Repairs: Peoria International (KPIA), Illinois

PEORIA - A decision on federal funding could determine to time frame of much needed repairs to Peoria's airport.

The Peoria International Airport is planning more than $5 million in renovations. Those include repairs and new pavement near the terminal and Byerly Aviation buildings. However, the completion date of the project is "up in the air" until the airport knows how much money it will get from the Federal Aviation Administration.

Gene Olson, the airport manager, says federal money usually pays for projects like this, but the
Federal Aviation Administration is handing out less money after recent budget cuts.  The airport still plans to start the project this fall.
