Soon, Lowe Field will be down to its final phase of construction.

According to Gurdon Airport Commissioner Mary Burns, a grant for $14,800 was received from the Arkansas Department of Aeronautics to help put running lights along the runway.

In addition, she said, a grant for $87,000 has been confirmed from the Horace C. Cabe Foundation to be used a matching funds for the ADA grant. ADA grants, Burns said, are 75-25 matching grants.

This will help Gurdon get to the next phase, which is a complete two-inch asphalt overlay of the entire runway.
