Coffeyville's Municipal Airport is set to receive state funding from the Kansas Department of Transportation Division of Aviation for improvements at the City's airfield.

Coffeyville has been awarded nearly $400,000 through a Kansas Airport Improvement Program grant. The money will be earmarked to reconstruct the pavement on the hanger approach. Governor Laura Kelly announced the grants yesterday (on Tuesday) as part of $18.3 million in funding for 53 airport projects across the state in an effort to improve the state's aviation network.

Other southeast Kansas airports receiving funding through the program include the Parsons Tri-CIty Airport that will receive just over $500,000 for a taxiway project and the Oswego Municipal Airport, which will get $270,000 for runway preservation. Airports in Chanute and Eureka will also receive grant money for airports in those cities.
