Rural airports to receive federal grants

Two Utah airports will receive grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation to improve their operations.

Richfield Municipal Airport will get $120,000 to erect a building for snow-removal equipment and install a fence around the airport.

Heber City Municipal Airport will receive just over $240,000 to update its master plan.

The grants are awarded by the FAA through the Airport Improvement Program.
