Morrisville-Stowe State Airport (KMVL) getting upgrade

MORRISVILLE — Small planes are once again flying in and out of a small Vermont airport that has gotten its first big upgrade in 35 years.

The Morrisville-Stowe State Airport now has a fully reconstructed runway, new lighting system, reconfigured parking, and other improvements.

Vermont Public Radio reports the new runway opened Friday. The improvements were funded through a $4 million federal Airport Improvement Project grant.

Stowe Aviation, a private firm that started leasing the airport from the state in July, plans to invest about $20 million for a new passenger terminal, an air charger company to improve access from the Stowe region to New York, Boston, Toronto and Washington, and a customs and immigration building.
