TxDot Approves Funding For San Marcos Regional Airport

Approximately $65,000 for San Marcos Regional Airport was approved by the Texas Transportation Commission at its August meeting.

The funds will be used for planned airport improvements, including engineering/design for hangar improvements.

A project consultant will be selected this summer.

Project costs will be funded through the city of San Marcos and TxDOT’s Aviation Facilities Grant Program, which preserves and improves the state’s general aviation system.
