FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE United States Rep. Virginia Foxx (N.C.-5) announced today that she secured $750,000 for improvements to the Statesville Regional Airport. The funding was included in the FY 2007 Transportation, Treasury, HUD, the Judiciary and the District of Columbia Appropriations Act which passed the House today. “Congresswoman Foxx’s efforts in securing funding for the airport demonstrate her commitment to economic prosperity for Statesville and its surrounding communities,” said Statesville Mayor Costi Kutteh last year. “We truly appreciate her recognizing the importance of Statesville Airport and making this funding a reality.” “I am delighted that I secured these vital funds,” said Rep. Foxx. “Helping the Statesville Airport will bring new jobs to Iredell County and add to the tax base.” Rep. Foxx has been actively involved with the airport since being elected to Congress and has worked closely with airport officials, local government officials and representatives from Lowe’s Aviation. The City of Statesville and Iredell County have become a favorite area for corporate relocations in recent years. These corporations have increasingly depended on the Statesville Airport to meet their travel needs. Rep. Foxx has been very active in helping the Statesville Airport become a state-of-the-art facility. ### |
