Lansing, Kan. — The final piece of the site selection study for a potential Leavenworth County Regional Airport have been released.

Those sites were an area northwest of the city of Leavenworth and almost 2 miles west of Fort Leavenworth on Coffin Road; an area off of Eisenhower Road approximately 4 miles west of Kansas Highway 7; and one mile east of K-7 north of McIntyre Road off of Gilman Road.
