The Yampa Valley Regional Airport has secured a significant $3 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration. These federal funds are designated for the development of a new aviation business park on airport grounds. The project is a key part of an effort to diversify the local economy of Routt County, which is heavily reliant on the coal industry and tourism. The grant will finance the necessary infrastructure, including taxiways and utilities, to prepare lots for hangars and other aviation-related enterprises. This development is expected to attract new businesses and create skilled jobs in the region.
