As a compliment to the new runway at Johnson County Executive Airport, and in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration, the Johnson County Airport Commission re-opened  newly rebuilt Taxiway Alpha in early October 2021.  The project called for a complete removal and replacement of the aging Taxiway Alpha, along with a 3" mill and overlay of Taxiway Hotel. The taxiway lights were also replaced with brighter, more visible LEDs and new lighted signage was added as well.  

The nearly $4 million project was funded by the Federal Aviation Administration. The project was designed by Burns & McDonnell and the work was done by Emery Sapp & Sons.
