FAA Provides Funding for North Dakota Airport Projects

Hector International Airport in Fargo has received nearly $4 million from the Federal Aviation Administration through the Airport Infrastructure Grant program to support its Terminal Expansion Project, reflecting the airport's growing service needs due to a 35% population increase since 2008. Senator John Hoeven announced that this funding is part of a broader effort, securing over $39 million for North Dakota airports. Meanwhile, Evansville Regional Airport has opened a new 43,000-square-foot maintenance facility and added three new flights in 2024, enhancing its service capabilities. The Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport is undergoing significant construction expected to finish by April 2025, with ongoing closures. In North Carolina, the Charlotte-Monroe Executive Airport is set to receive federal funding for critical enhancements to its apron and taxiway to accommodate increased traffic. These developments signify a commitment to modernizing airport infrastructure across various regions.
