The Mississippi Transportation Commission (MTC) recently authorized the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) to provide the matching funds for upcoming federal airport improvement projects.

These funds will provide 50 percent of the local matching share to projects funded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

“Local airports are vital to the economy of a rural state like Mississippi,” said Transportation Commissioners Dick Hall, Tom King and Mike Tagert in a joint statement by the MTC. “MDOT recognizes the importance of matching the local share for FAA grants that will help make needed improvements that will continue to support local economic growth and development.”
