(Washington, D.C.) – The U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao announced yesterday that the Trump administration will award more than $1.2 billion in airport safety and infrastructure grants through the Federal Aviation Administration.
This funding will go to 405 airports in 50 states and six U.S. territories.
“This $1.2 billion federal investment will improve our nation’s airport infrastructure, enhance safety, and strengthen growth in local communities, which is especially important as the economy recovers from COVID-19,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao.
Locally, the Madison Municipal Airport will receive $145,885 to Madison Municipal to purchase land, build an apron, and improve airport obstruction marking.
Paoli Municipal Airport will receive $166,666 to improve a fuel farm, and Warsaw Municipal Airport will receive $1,927,524 to rehabilitate a runway.
“The 434 AIP grants will fund critical airport infrastructure projects around the country,” said FAA Administrator Stephen M. Dickson.
