Upon arrival into the terminal environment at MGM; flight crew was informed of a portion of runway lighting reported as inoperative. Information was not published in NOTAMs and Dispatch was not aware. During the time spent in researching suitability of the given conditions; the flight crew observed Rwy 28 with VMC conditions. The crew determined that the runway lighting that was visible was suitable to execute a safe landing. Some factors to take into account: filed alternate was ZZZ. Crew knew that the weather to get back to ZZZ was not ideal. Having experience occasional moderate turbulence; and 30 knots more headwind than planned. Extended taxi time leaving ZZZ; and stair-stepped altitude climb out had us approximately 300 pounds behind on fuel. Having had a same day previous min fuel declaration; we determined ZZZ was not best action. In our judgement at the time; landing at Montgomery was the safest course of action. Unreported facility malfunctions.Safest decision was madeBuy more time. Request vectors; or holding to further coordinate airfield suitability with all available resources.
