Best option, tear up the hard surface and make a new turf runway.

Considering that the runway in question is probably at LEAST a foot thick,
and full of rebar, it would almost be cheaper to make a new concrete runway,
as to tear it up.

They cannot get money to repave it as a runway.
They may be able to get money to repave it as a taxiway or to remove it.
