Why is the city providing any funds for the airport?

Why does government build roads? Or sidewalks? How is a runway
different
from a road?

Jesus, man, what kind of a stupid question is that? Is there a city road
in
any city in America that isn't built with public funds?

Yes...in every new housing or corporate real estate development.

Is there a municipal airport in America that DOESN'T take public funds?

Probably not.
