Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport (BAF), located in central Massachusetts has completed a rehabilitation of its secondary runway. Runway 15/33 was last reconstructed back in 1970 and, according to airport manager Chris Willenborg, the nearly $8 million project was planned nearly a decade before funding was secured. FAA AIP grants covered approximately $6.8 million of the cost, with the state DOT and the city-owned airport paying the remainder.
