Apparently size does matter, at least in terms of getting federal dollars for projects. The 2010 federal omnibus spending bill includes $2.75 million for Lamar's only airport. The airport, KLLU in airport lingo, currently has a 2900 foot runway. With the new federal dollars, that runway will grow to be 4000 ft and expand the usefulness of the airport to larger planes, including twins and jets.
Lamar hopes to start construction next summer.
