CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The airport in West Virginia’s capital city has landed more than $700,000 in state grant to match federal money for projects to improve the facility’s runway.
The state Division of Multimodal Transportation Facilities says a $646,700 grant will match a $12.4 million federal grant for Yeager Airport’s runway rehabilitation in Charleston.
The project involves a 2-inch asphalt overlay of the runway and several improvements to the runway lighting system.
A second Division of Multimodal Transportation Facilities provides $58,000 to match federal funds for an environmental impact statement on a project that would add runway safety areas and extend one of Yeager’s runways to 8,000 feet.
