WASHINGTON - Senator John Hoeven, a member of the Senate Transportation Appropriations Committee, today announced over $24 million in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awards for North Dakota airports, including $8.5 million for Hector International's Airport Terminal Expansion Project. Senator Hoeven is working to fulfill the project's federal cost share, now having secured almost $34 million for the effort to date. Additionally, the FAA is awarding Minot International Airport and Bismarck Municipal Airport nearly $16 million to rehabilitate and reconstruct existing taxiways.
Specifically, these grants include:
"The FAA's funding will support continued efforts for the Hector International Terminal Expansion as well as vital rehabilitation and reconstruction at Bismarck and Minot airports," said Hoeven. "It's imperative that North Dakotans are able to fly and travel safely throughout the state and country, and we will continue to work to secure funding for these major airport updates."
