An airport in south-central Missouri will receive about $1.3 million to build a new terminal building.

The project is located at the Waynesville-St. Robert Regional Forney Field in Fort Leonard Wood, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said.

The money comes from the latest round of 2024 Airport Improvement Program grants awarded by the agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation. The grants fund various projects to improve runways, airfields and airport facilities. On August 9, the FAA awarded $636.05 million to airports in 46 states and American Samoa.

Through its partnership with Contour Airlines, Pulaski County Airport offers daily flights to and from Nashville and Dallas.

“From passenger traffic to cargo operations, the Biden-Harris administration continues to make our aviation system safer, more accessible and more resilient through initiatives like the Airport Improvement Program,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “Thanks to this latest round of funding, passengers across the country will benefit as we make airports from Rhode Island to American Samoa more modern and efficient.”

This was the fourth round of grants from the Airport Improvement Program for fiscal year 2024.
