Congressman Rogers Announces Funding For Pike County Airport.
U.S. Rep. Harold “Hal” Rogers (KY-05) announced the Federal Aviation Administration is awarding $111,000 to replace old runway lights requiring frequent maintenance with a new high-intensity lighting system at Pike County-Hatcher field.
Modern, reliable runway lights increase safety primarily for arrivals and also assist with taxi operations and departures.
“Investing in regional airports opens up new travel options, but safety is always the top priority,” said Rogers. “Economic development depends on a reliable and safe transportation infrastructure.”
As a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, Rogers works to provide funding for important initiatives in the fifth Congressional district.
