Southeast Kansas airports get COVID-19 grants
Morning Sun
PITTSBURG, Kan. Three southeast Kansas municipal airports will receive additional COVID-19 grants Sen. Jerry Moran’s office has announced.
Moran said in a press release Friday that 14 airports across Kansas will receive in total $1.1 million in grant money provided through the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, passed by Congress in March 2020.
“Kansas airports play an important role in our local economies and help connect rural areas to the rest of the country,” Moran said in the release. “While our airports have worked hard to provide safe flying opportunities for Kansans and visitors, they have been severely impacted by decreased travel throughout this pandemic, and these grants will help support them with costs associated with COVID-19.”

LIMA Thanks to the state’s latest capital budget, a total of $6.7 million is expected to head to multiple projects in Allen County, including sizable appropriations for Lima’s downtown amphitheater project, The Ohio State University-Lima and Rhodes State College.
Out of the 11 allocations set aside for Allen County, the largest single line item is $1.7 million allocated to OSU-Lima’s project to renovate the campus’s oldest building Galvin Hall.
“Everybody that’s been a student at OSU-Lima have taken classes in that building. The faculty that has worked has taught there. It is the center of OSU’s presence on that campus. It was established in the late ’60s, and now it’s time for some investment to bring it up to a 21st century educational environment,” OSU-LIMA Dean and Director Tim Rehner said.
