Congressman Cohen Announces $3 Million Grant for Memphis International Airport

MEMPHIS - Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9), a senior member of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and Ranking Member of its Aviation Subcommittee, today announced that the Memphis International Airport will receive $3 million for the reconstruction of a portion of the Terminal Access Road which will allow for the expansion of the terminal building. The work will provide easier access to the front of the airport, including for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) passengers, where four lanes will be curb-less. The funding came from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that Congressman Cohen alone among the current Tennessee Congressional Delegation voted for.

Congressman Cohen made the following statement:

"This Airport Terminal Program funding will enhance Americans with Disabilities Act access and allow for the expansion of the terminal building at our airport. Memphis International Airport is an economic engine for our entire region. This investment strengthens its ability to attract and serve the flying public."
