ST.
LOUIS DOWNTOWN AIRPORT
RECEIVES RECOVERY ACT FUNDS
Washington, April 7, 2009 - U.S. Congressman Jerry Costello announced today that St. Louis Downtown Airport, located in Cahokia, has received funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The funds will be used to construct an Airport Rescue and Firefighting building. Recovery Act funds are going to “shovel ready” projects to create jobs and stimulate the economy.
“St. Louis Downtown airport is the third busiest airport in the state of Illinois, and this funding will enhance safety as it continues to grow,” said Costello, Chairman of the House Aviation Subcommittee. “We must maintain and improve our transportation infrastructure to ensure a robust and efficient economy. This is exactly the type of domestic investment we have neglected in recent years, and I will continue to support these efforts.”
PROJECT DETAILS
The ARFF station was engineered and designed by Hanson Professional Services, Inc. and will be constructed on vacant land immediately west of the JetAviation terminal building. The facility will include three drive-through equipment bays, administrative offices and a training/conference room on the ground floor, with firefighter living quarters on the second floor. The station design mixes classic fire station design, complete with red doors and a fire pole, with modern, energy-efficient function and design.
