In July 2019, the City of Lawrence granted permits to a $2.1 million construction project. The project, expected to be completed by the end of 2019, includes a 23,000 square foot hangar and an office space. It is designed in order to encourage more private charters out of the airport.[3]
In February 2023, the airport was selected to receive Kansas Airport Improvement Program (KAIP) funding of more than $1.3 million for airport master plan updates, apron rehabilitation – including design and construction – and a feasibility study for a runway expansion and extension to support 717 and 737 aircraft.[4]
