La Crosse airport receives six-figure grant to improve services to other cities
The La Crosse Regional Airport is getting federal money to improve service to other cities.
La Crosse is among 16 cities to receive the ‘small community’ grants, which total almost $10 million.
The DOT grant for La Crosse is $750,000. Among the other cities included in this group of grants are Lincoln, Nebraska; Sioux City, Iowa and Fairbanks, Alaska.
The La Crosse funding is aimed at establishing new, non-stop flight service to eastern cities — possibly New York, Philadelphia or Newark.
