The projects are funded under Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Airport Infrastructure Grants (AIG) program for airport improvements, including front-of-house projects such as terminal expansions and baggage system upgrades.
FAA is granting $6.4 million to Colorado Springs Airport in Colorado, $3 million to Melbourne Orlando International Airport in Florida, $1.8 million to South Bend International Airport in Indiana, $2.4 million to Easton Airport in Maryland, $8.3 million to Bangor International in Maine, $1 million to Dickinson-Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport in North Dakota, $2.9 million to Grand Forks International Airport in North Dakota, $27.8 million to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, $8.1 million to Joe Foss Field Airport in Sioux Falls, and $1 million to Friday Harbor Airport in Washington.

'The grants we're announcing today will make key improvements to ensure passengers move safely and efficiently through our airports-and is another example of the Biden-Harris Administration's commitment to modernizing our nation's aviation systems.'
