Muskegon County commissioners, meeting as the board's Transportation Committee, approved a $80,000 Michigan Department of Transportation grant contract for the airport.
The airport will come up with the required 10 percent match.
About $60,000 of the grant will go toward adding a bathroom beyond the checkpoint, said Marty Piette, the airport manager.
He said there haven’t been complaints, but comments on the lack of a bathroom.
“It’s an inconvenience because people have to be screened again if they leave the area to use the bathroom,” Piette said.
The other $20,000 will be used to refurbish the de-ice truck, he said.
Piette said there are no plans in place yet for the bathroom, but he expects the $60,000 will get him through the planning stages.
