WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (AP) - Three federal lawmakers from Arkansas say a $10 million federal grant is being awarded to West Memphis Municipal Airport.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor, Republican Sen. John Boozman and Republican Rep. Rick Crawford announced the U.S. Department of Transportation grant on Friday.
