Update airport master plan

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Southern Region, awarded a $195,000 Project Grant to the City of Cynthiana on July 10, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to update the master plan for Cynthiana-Harrison County Airport in Cynthiana, Kentucky. The primary deliverables include an updated airport layout plan with comprehensive master plan narrative and an updated solid waste recycling plan. The project is scheduled for completion by July 9, 2029.

This planning project supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits for the regional airport system. As a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and local government airport authority, the City of Cynthiana has a demonstrated track record of securing federal airport infrastructure funding through the Airport Improvement Program, with previous grants supporting T-hangar construction, taxilane development, and pandemic-related operational relief. The master plan update will provide the regulatory foundation necessary for future infrastructure development and capital planning initiatives at the airport.
