The Knoxville Municipal Airport will receive a $3,590,781 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant program. The funding will be used to reconstruct both the lighting system and 4,000 feet of existing runway. Last month it was announced that the airport would also be the recipient of $150,000 from the Iowa Transportation Commission to be used towards the construction of a new T Hangar.
