More than $133 million is headed for airports in the southeast, as part of almost $1 billion earmarked by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration’s Airport Terminal Program. Nine airports from Florida to North Carolina will benefit from the first of five annual $1-billion commitments from the FAA program, according to a USDOT announcement July 7.
The airports in the Southeast are among 85 across the country included in the first round of awards, set to be spent on new construction, renovation and expansion at small and large airports across five states. Funding is from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
