BEAUFORT — The Carteret County-Beaufort Airport Authority will receive nearly $200,000 in additional federal funds to go toward paying off the newly installed fuel farm at the Michael J. Smith Field in Beaufort.
The airport completed construction in March on its first permanent fuel farm, a service that was previously provided by the airport’s contracted fixed-based operator. The project totaled more than $1 million and is being paid for entirely by federal Non-Primary Entitlement funds, which are distributed to airports by the Federal Aviation Administration for airfield development projects.
