Biden-Harris Administration Announces $20 Million from Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to Modernize 20 Small and Regional Airport Traffic Control Towers Across the U.S.

Thursday, March 21, 2024

WASHINGTON – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is awarding $20 million to 20 airport-owned airport traffic control towers across the country, spanning 17 states. The funding will be used to upgrade existing or build new control towers, delivering on President Biden’s Investing in America agenda that is rebuilding our infrastructure in every corner of the country. 

This funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law goes to smaller and regional airports to improve safety and support critical aviation operations such as commercial passenger flights, cargo flights, emergency services, agricultural aviation, and flight training.

“Today’s announcement is another example of the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to modernizing America’s aviation system and keeping it safe and efficient for generations to come,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “With funds from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we’re helping modernize air traffic control towers in smaller communities that have not always received adequate resources from Washington, D.C.”

“These investments expand the resources available to airports and help ensure airport traffic control towers across the country and the men and women who work in them are able to effectively do their jobs and communicate with pilots,” said FAA Associate Administrator for Airports, Shannetta R. Griffin, P.E. “Not only does this help improve safety at our airports, but it creates good-paying jobs and helps boost local economies.”
