The Dalles City Council signed off on a Federal Aviation Administration grant for the Columbia Gorge Regional Airport at a special meeting on Monday.  The grant is pay 90 percent of the one-point-six million dollar project to finish the center section of a taxiway that was required by the FAA when a runway was redone in 2012.  The airport’s Rolf Anderson told the Council they needed to get the application for the grant done on Monday due to a change in FAA timelines, and they will receive a letter from the FAA on Tuesday indicating acceptance of the grant.  The Klickitat County Commission will approve the grant on Tuesday.  The City and the County are the co-owners of the airport.  Construction of the taxiway should take place in the spring of 2017.
