Portage County airport receives another round of lifeline funding from commissioners

- Wendy DiAlesandro

County commissioners on Thursday unanimously approved a $154,375 loan to the Portage County Regional Airport Authority for critical repairs, which will add to the $523,059 the airport already owes the county government.

The money will cover repairs to the airport runway and to Nanway Boulevard, which serves as the entrance road off state Route 44. Neither have been paved for over a decade, airport authority President Homer Lucas said.
