BISMARCK, N.D. - The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced an award of $2,950,000 to support terminal expansion projects at the following North Dakota airports:
"This award is a step toward the completion of the expansion projects at Hector International Airport, giving Fargo residents and visitors coming to North Dakota a better, safer travel experience," said U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure. "Enhanced infrastructure projects like these help improve safety, increase air service capacity, and support economic growth in North Dakota."
These funds will be distributed through the FAA's Airport Terminals Program (ATP), which was established by the fully-paid-for Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to provide airports with funding for terminal modernization projects. Earlier this year, the delegation helped secure $10 million in funding from the ATP program to support Hector's terminal expansion project.
