WASHINGTON, DC: Rep. Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01) announced the award of a $1,305,919 federal grant from the Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to the Talbot County Council for a project at the Easton Airport, Newnam Field.

Congressman Harris made the following statement on the award:
“I support our local regional airports and the rural communities they serve on the Eastern Shore. Easton Airport supports quality, good-paying jobs on the Mid-Shore, and during this pandemic, I support getting our rural communities in the First Congressional District the funds they need to continue to operate and thrive.”

Great - how many of you middle class taxpayers use this airport. None. It is for the wealthy. Why not have those individuals pay for upkeep.
More funding for Easton airport - WTH - the facility doesn't even show up on the economic radar screen.
