HAILEY, Idaho (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration is awarding a small central Idaho airport that serves the resort area of Ketchum and Sun Valley an $18 million grant for construction work on safety improvements.

The Idaho Mountain Express (http://bit.ly/1hQ8AMO ) reports the Friedman Memorial Airport in Hailey was awarded the money earlier this week as part of a series of federal grants expected to cover most of the cost of a $34 million construction project.
