New lighting planned for airport runway

By Christine Holmes, News Director

The Zanesville Municipal Airport will see some improvements after ODOT awarded the City of Zanesville an aviation grant.

The airport’s alternate runway will receive new lighting that will be place a little closer to the pavement than what’s currently there.

The total cost of the project is $450,000, with ODOT fronting 95 percent of the cost and the City 5 percent at $22,500.
