The Illinois Department of Transportation announced Thursday the Quincy airport will be getting $9-million dollars in supplemental discretionary funding through the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program.

IDOT will kick in a half-million dollars, with a local match also going into the pot.

The money will go toward runway reconstruction at Quincy Regional Airport.
