San Diego International Airport was awarded nearly $12.1 million by the Federal Aviation Administration this week for terminal construction, part of roughly $970 million in funds awarded to airfields across the nation.
"Investing in America's airport infrastructure isn't just about upgrading runways and terminals -- it's about growing local economies, creating jobs, and ensuring the safety and efficiency of travel," U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a statement.
Hollywood Burbank Airport received $9.3 million for"exterior glass, roofing and drywall for a replacement passenger terminal, consisting of 14 gates." Palm Springs International Airport, meanwhile, received $6 million to fund"the demolition of existing foundations and exterior building walls, as well as the construction of a new foundation for the expansion of the existing terminal."
"We're working to ensure passengers' safety, comfort, and convenience throughout their airport journey," FAA Associate Administrator for Airports Shannetta R. Griffin said in a statement."Today's investment also builds communities by providing good-paying jobs and infusing dollars in local economies."
