Upgrades to the West Kootenay Regional Airport Terminal are part and parcel with solving the facility’s reliability issues.
Castlegar city councilor Florio Vassilakakis says the city is taking a proactive approach to seeking funds to help with improvements.
They have applied for $500,000 in rural dividend funds from the BC Government.
The terminal upgrades are estimated to cost $4.2 million.
Some of that money would come from the CBT and airport reserves.
