Members of Arkansas` congressional
delegation are announcing more than one million dollars in
grants for runway safety at Little Rock National Airport.
The grant will finance an upgrade to a system that helps stop
aircraft from running off the runway. The current arresting system
will get a coating that is resistant to jet blasts.
The grant is being issued through the federal Department of
Transportation. It was announced by Senators Blanche Lincoln and
Mark Pryor and Representative Vic Snyder.
