SALEM
Construction has begun at McNary Field to install security
screening and add a modular building for passenger services in
the hope of attracting commercial air service. The Salem City
Council approved as much as $500,000 for the scaled-down
project, to be completed by the end of this year, after it
learned that it would not receive the $2.5 million it requested
from the Connect Oregon program. Talks continue between the
City of Salem and several airlines.
