Monroe County, Florida – Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, senior member of the Florida Congressional Delegation, is pleased that the Naval Air Station Key West has been granted $6 million in the Defense Appropriation Subcommittee.

The federal funds will help in the modernization and restoration of this important Navy facility and Ros-Lehtinen believes that these funds will be included in the final legislation that reaches the Floor. Last year, Ros-Lehtinen secured $2.4 million for the air station.
