COLUMBUS, Ind. – The Columbus Municipal Airport has announced the receipt of additional funding for the construction of the new Air Traffic Control Tower (Tower).

“We have now secured 100% of the funding required to construct the control tower through the award of an additional grant by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA),” said Brian Payne, Columbus Municipal Airport Director. “The collaborative nature between the architect, contractor, and the Airport shows a clear vision toward enhancing the rich architectural heritage of Columbus.”

The new Tower will replace the airport’s existing 80-year-old Tower. It will be upgraded to align with current FAA Air Traffic Control Tower standards, including sighting, backup cooling and power, security, fire and life safety, and FAA equipment.
