Lacombe Regional Airport awarded infrastructure grant
LACOMBE- The City of Lacombe has received grant funding to install new solar powered runway lighting at the Lacombe Regional Airport.
The Strategic Transportation Infrastructure Program (STIP) operates under the jurisdiction of the Government of Alberta’s transportation portfolio and has approved a maximum of $175,436 for the project.
The existing taxiway lighting is original to the airport and has been maintained and retrofitted over time.
A lack of parts, in combination with the availability of newer technology, deemed the lighting system to be at the end of its useful life.
