Changes are on the way to help handle the increasing population of San Marcos -- which is, according to the Census Bureau, the fastest growing city in America. Angelica Cobos has more in this Bobcat Update.
The Federal Aviation Administration recently granted the San Marcos Regional Airport five-point-seven (M) million dollars to make some needed improvements.

One part of the project is to widen the airport's entrance and create a left-hand turn lane from the airport onto Highway 21. Another part of the project will be to install a navigational system to alert pilots when their aircraft are too high or too low as they're landing.

The San Marcos Regional Airport is considered a reliever airport for the international airports in Austin and San Antonio. When emergencies occur at either of the larger airports, pilots can divert to San Marcos. Officials say having reliever status is yet another reason the airport needs to be in tip-top shape.
Stand Up: With the population growing, more planes are coming in, which means even more changes are on the way. For Bobcat Update, I'm Angelica Cobos.
