TOPEKA (KSNT) – Topeka Regional Airport is getting a cut of a federal investment to help make improvements and repairs.
Kansas Senator Roger Marshall announced on Feb. 4 that several airports in Kansas will be receiving cash from a $26 million federal investment. The money is to be used for repairs and safety enhancements at regional airports across the state.
