The financial grant provided by the Federal Aviation Administration will be used to purchase additional land.
The current runway will be extended onto that land, going from it’s current 5,100 feet to 6,000 feet in length.

City Engineer Barry Mott said, “The airport is an economic engine for the city, and the the impact to the community is great, not just for the city, but also for Coffee County and the southeast region.
