The Tri-Cities Airport in Pasco will see its business center as well as taxiways updated courtesy a $3 million loan and grant issued by the Washington State Community Economic Revitalization Board.

Solgen Power LLC is partnering with the project to invest $5 million to expand solar power operations.

The financial package includes a $2.2 million loan, $737,000 loan and is matched by $737,000 in local funds.

The project will build a 2,000-foot stretch of road, including curb, gutter, sidewalk and utilities, and 2,000 feet of taxiway.

CERB anticipates the project will create 412 jobs.
