million construction project for runway, lighting and drainage improvements.Rogers Executive Airport manager David Krutsch tells the Northwest Arkansas
Democrat Gazette that the airport is scheduled to be closed for construction
from June 23 through July 3.

the construction or operate out of nearby airports, such as the Springdale
