The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will award an estimated $49.3 million to Missouri’s 73 airports from funding made available by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The money can be invested in runways, taxiways, safety and sustainability projects, as well as terminal, airport-transit connections and roadway projects.
Missouri airports can submit projects they wish to use the funds on for FAA review in the coming weeks.
According to a news release, airports in Kennett and Poplar Bluff are slated to get $159,000.
