Colorado Airports to Receive Over $16 Million in Federal Grants
In a Thursday press release, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao announced that the Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will award $1.187 billion in airport safety and infrastructure grants.
So, what does that mean for Colorado? Our airports can expect $16,355,873 in grants.
“This Federal investment of over $1 billion represents the Department’s continued commitment to the safety and efficiency of our nation’s airports for the traveling public,” said Chao in the release.
“The 439 grants will ensure that airport sponsors can make the necessary improvements so their airports can operate in a safe and efficient manner for years to come,” added FAA Administrator Stephen M. Dickson.
