Marana airport closer to getting air-traffic control tower
Approval paves way for application for FAA grant money
The town of Marana just learned the airport was approved last month for a tower to be installed. The town says it would cost about $8 million to build a tower at the airport.
Under old rules the Federal government would only be allowed to help with $2 million for a tower. That changed two years ago and the airport applied for help with funding.
