Reconstruct airfield drainage/erosion control

The City of Madisonville, Kentucky received a $129,760 Project Grant award on August 28, 2025, from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106). The grant funds the final construction phase of a comprehensive airfield drainage reconstruction and erosion control project at Madisonville Municipal Airport. The existing drainage infrastructure had reached the end of its useful life and required replacement to maintain safe and operational airport facilities. The project is expected to be completed by August 27, 2029.

This infrastructure investment supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits by modernizing critical airport infrastructure. The reconstruction of the airfield drainage system will enhance operational efficiency and environmental protection at the regional airport facility serving Hopkins County and the surrounding Madisonville area.
