Manhattan Regional Airport is working to give its main taxiway a facelift. The Manhattan City Commission on Tuesday unanimously authorized project plans and financing for Taxiway Alpha’s reconstruction project.

That approval also included a professional services agreement with Olsson Inc. The total cost of the project is $1,213,800.

Previously, Federal Aviation Administration grant funding was provided at a 90/10 split, with the city responsible for 10% of the cost. However, under recent FAA reauthorization, that cost share improved to 95/5, reducing the local share.
