Bluffton Airport has received federal funding to repave three taxiways at the 1080 Navajo Dr. facility, which will update routes used to move aircraft from hangers to the runway.
The Village of Bluffton has been awarded a $90,000 federal grant from the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program for paving some 4/10th of a mile of taxiways. This grant follows the $1.1 million award that resulted in complete repaving of the runway in 2020-2021. Grants are made to ensure passenger safety and to support local economies.

Riders meet at the Mennonite Church Parking lot each day at noon, rainy days
excepted. For more information contact Dwain Hall at (567) 376-7337.
The big "cherry picker" lifts at Bluffton Schools have been a reminder of the maintenance and deep cleaning done during the summer. Outside tuck pointing, painting and window sealing work are being done.
