Manhattan Regional Airport will reconstruct its primary taxiway after Manhattan city commissioners unanimously approved nearly $15 million in federal grant funding for the project Tuesday.
The commission voted to accept $14,882,460 in Federal Aviation Administration grant agreements, approve a $1,474,700 task order with Olsson Inc. and award a $12,927,663 construction contract to Clarkson Construction Co. for the taxiway alpha reconstruction project.
The project will replace all three sections of taxiway alpha, which runs parallel to the airport’s primary runway, rather than replacing the two oldest sections as originally planned.
