Onto the Next: Engineering is underway for a full-depth reclamation of the oldest section of Runway 9–27, planned for 2026 with construction targeted for 2027. This major upgrade, estimated at $4.5M, will extend the runway’s lifespan and improve long-term reliability.
Following the reclamation, our focus will shift to rehabilitating older taxiways beginning in 2028, including removing and redesigning several connectors to meet updated FAA standards.
Progress takes time, but every step keeps our airport strong for the future.
We appreciate this improvement and all of the other things that have been done !
Can the current configuration at the airport handle planes such as the MD11F or 747F?
Big news for based aircraft: the Airport Authority Board has officially approved construction of 18 new T-hangars, to be built just east of the current east-side rows.
Construction begins soon with Shawnee Construction and Engineering, Inc. leading the project. Because we must remove the aging west-end hangars in 2026, this gives us a net gain of 3 new units. We’ll share timelines, renderings, and progress updates as they become available.
