Pittsburg airport is expanding, $2.2 million grant
PITTSBURG, Kans. — The Metropolis of Pittsburg is working to enhance the Atkinson Municipal Airport.
The FAA has dedicated greater than $2.2 million by way of a grant to assist broaden the airport’s apron.
The Metropolis will match $232,000 or 10% of the grant.
The growth will create new parking for jets, separate from taxi operations, a brand new location for single engine tie-downs, and enhance general security on the airport.
“We resurfaced the runway only in the near past years in the past, and with that we had been in a position to land and take off bigger planes, however what we weren’t in a position to do is park them completely,” mentioned Quentin Holmes, Director of Housing and Group Improvement
The challenge is anticipated to start within the spring of subsequent 12 months.
It’s estimated it’ll take 4 to 5 months to finish, relying on the climate.

HAMPTON TOWNSHIP, Pa. (KDKA) — Founded in 1960, Wildwood Golf Club is hidden gem here in the Pittsburgh area and features one of nicest Par 4’s in all of Western Pennsylvania.
“Number 13 at Wildwood is just a beautiful golf hole,” said Wildwood Head Golf Professional David Yokitis.
Not only is #13 beautiful, but a demanding dogleg right that can play up to 430 yards.
“It requires a little bit of a fade off the tee,” Yokitis said. “Hitting the fairway is a must off the first shot here.”
Hitting the fairway requires a precise shot from the tee with a fairway bunker on the right and trees on the left.
“If you blow it way right, you can hit it out of bounds down the right side,” Yokitis said.
“Anything on this green is a bonus,” Yokitis said, speaking to the difficulty of the hole, which features a deceptively-large green.
“You take your 4 and you move on,” Yokitis said of making a par alongside KDKA-TV’s Rich Walsh.
