Ankeny Regional Airport Grant

Ankeny Regional Airport's gotten a $1.2-million federal grant to buy land to improve safety on one of their runways. The Des Moines Register reports the crosswinds landing strip at the airport is 4,200 feet, but only 3,855 feet is currently usable because the airport does not own enough open land at the end. The grant will provide partial reimbursement to the airport for 24.5 acres for the project.
