Detroit Airport a grateful recipient of ‘stimulus’ funding

A USD15 million stimulus grant is helping fund the rehabilitation of a Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (WCCA) runway. WCCA will open a newly reconstructed runway nearly a year and a half ahead of its previously planned schedule - and just in time for the Nov-09 Thanksgiving vacation 'rush' (assuming there is one this year) - thanks to the grant provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), also known as the economic stimulus package. The project is expected to create nearly 225 local jobs, according to WCCA and work is the most important four letter word to found in the local vocabulary.
