Yeager Airport Receives Federal Funding

West Virginia airports are in line to receive $4.5 million in federal funding. Awards include $3.8 million for Yeager Airport, $432,000 for Fairmont Municipal Airport-Frankman Field, $151,000 for Upshur County Regional Airport and $150,000 for Kee Field. U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin said the state’s tourism industry and economy have already been affected by the coronavirus pandemic and would suffer without the airports. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito said the funding will support maintenance and expand capabilities and services the airports provide.
