According to an agenda, the commission will consider approving a $1.1 million grant for constructing a new taxiway at Bartlesville Municipal Airport. If approved, the state grant would be supplemented with $737,000 of federal funds and $101,000 in local funding.

The commission will also consider approving a $20,000 grant application from Bartlesville Public Schools for the district’s aviation education program.
