The Yakima City Council voted to apply and accept the grant funds during its regular meeting last night, Tuesday, May 5th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) estimates YKM\u2019s grant total will be $1,286,003. It is part of an approximately $10 billion federal funding package for airports to provide economic assistance in response to COVID-19 economic impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFiscal sustainability will be our first priority for these grant funds,\u201d Yakima Airport Director Robert Peterson said. \u201cDuring the COVID-19 pandemic various transportation sectors have witnessed unprecedented decreases in business activities. Airport revenues received from these sectors have already decreased as passengers follow stay-at-home recommendations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAirports are a critical component to the nation\u2019s economy and the CARES Act funds will have a positive effect on our airport as we recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic,\u201d Peterson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Yakima Air Terminal-McAllister Field is one of 62 airports in Washington state slated to receive CARES Act funds. Grants range from $1,000 up to more than $192 million for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit https:\/\/flyykm.com\/<\/a> or call 575-6149 for more about Yakima Air Terminal-McAllister Field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yakima Air Terminal-McAllister Field (YKM) has qualified for nearly $1.3 million in federal funds through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) grant.
