On September 2, U.S. Representative Salud Carbajal (D-CA-24), announced he secured significant federal funding for two airports in San Luis Obispo County for infrastructure improvements. SLO County Airport will receive $2,725,597.00 to construct a new 315-foot Taxiway B3 to bring the airport into conformity with current standards. Oceano Airport will receive $313,500.00 to reseal 2,325 feet of existing Runway 11/29 pavement to extend its useful life. This funding is from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) program, which provides federal grants for airport infrastructure projects such as runways, taxiways, signage, lighting, and markings.
