Yazoo County Airport (FAA LID: 87I) is an airport in unincorporated Yazoo County, Mississippi,[1] 2 miles (3.2 km) west of central Yazoo City.[2] The airport is operated by Yazoo County.[3]
The airport has a 5,000 feet (1,500 m) lighted runway that was built in 1993 and upgraded in 2000. As of 2001 the airport houses two agricultural businesses and a repair service. Lynne W. Jeter of the Mississippi Business Journal said in 2001 that the county airport "may have played an important role in landing the multi-phase federal prison project that is currently under expansion," referring to the Federal Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Complex, Yazoo City, located in Yazoo City.[2]
In 2010 the airport received a $76,931 Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program grant to install an apron lighting system.[3]
