North Battleford is again receiving funding for its airport.
In the form of cost-shared grants, the government is spending $275,000, which the City of North Battleford will match. Mayor Ryan Bater and MLA Herb Cox were on hand for an announcement Friday.
This is the third year both levels of government have participated in this project.
The Government of Saskatchewan is investing $700,000 in cost-shared grants this year, of which North Battleford received $275,000. The City must submit a grant application to receive funding.
Repaving work remains to be completed at the Cameron McIntosh Airport. Previous work, Cox said, has been repairs to lighting on runways, as well as storm sewers.
The News-Optimistreported last year the runway project is planned to span four years.
"Community and regionally-owned airports support vital services like air ambulance, law enforcement and firefighting," Highways and Infrastructure Minister David Marit said in a release.
