U.S. Senators Jerry Moran and Roger Marshall announced that they have obtained 23 grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation for use in select Kansas airports.  Locally, Chanute's Martin Johnson Airport will get $144,00, Fort Scott Municipal gets $2,070,000 and Liberal's Mid-America Regional Airport will receive $570,000.

Senator Moran says local airports help bring economic opportunities and critical resources to communities across Kansas.  He says these grants are an investment into regional Kansas airports to make certain they are running safely and efficiently to support interstate commerce and travel to and from Kansas
