HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Two projects at the Hutchinson Airport are among thirty-six projects that have been selected for Kansas Airport Improvement Program (KAIP) funding for the purpose of planning, constructing or rehabilitating public use general aviation airports.
The airport will get a total of $95,300 for the design and construction improvements for the hangar housing the Kansas Forest Service fire fighting aircraft.
The city of Hutchinson will share in the costs by paying between 5% and 50% of the total project. The Kansas Department of Transportation’s Division of Aviation, which manages the program, considered 145 project applications this year with a combined total project value of over $78 million.
