"Today's announcement builds on the historic achievements of the recent FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, and I'm pleased to see these federal dollars allocated to strengthen the diverse needs of our state's airports," said Graves. "The safety and resilience of Louisiana airports is critical to passenger safety, economic development, business growth, and builds on the billions in federal funding we've secured in infrastructure investments. As I keep saying, we're running through the tape, and we won't complete this term without exhausting all our energy on securing wins for our great state."
