Corinth Airport Set For Upgrades

CORINTH, Miss. (AP) – The city of Corinth and Alcorn County have accepted a $102,069 transportation grant for improvements at the local airport.

The funds came from the Mississippi Department of Transportation to the Corinth-Alcorn County Airport.

The city and county are each providing $516 to make up the total match amount of $1,031 for the project.

Airport attorney William Odom says the money will be used to construct a canopy for the existing fuel farm and rehabilitate the old terminal so it can be put to use by a fixed base operator for flight training, aviation electronics or other purposes.
