Heavy equipment has been bustling around the northwest end of the Logan County Airport this week as the area is prepared for the first of several drainage projects. Hanson Engineering out of Springfield is overseeing the $600,000 tiling project that is well under way. The project has a 56-day window to complete. Rain could slow progress. A light haze Wednesday reduced visibility in the area to seven miles. Rain showers are possible later.
