Port Commission votes to not seek FAA funding for Grove Field Airport

The disappointment was obvious Tuesday night among area pilots, after they heard the Port of Camas-Washougal Commission vote 3-0 to not apply for $10 million from the Federal Aviation Administration to pay for improvements at Grove Field Airport.

After the commissioners’ meeting ended, the pilots gathered in the front lobby of the port office building and scheduled an impromptu meeting of their own at the Adams Street Bar and Grill, in downtown Camas.
