US awards nearly $1b to airports in infrastructure grants

The FAA said Monday it is awarding nearly $1b to 99 US airport projects under a 2021 $1t infrastructure law. The awards include $10.8m to Des Moines International Airport in Iowa to replace the 1948 terminal that is operating above capacity and $29m to Salt Lake City International Airport in Utah for a terminal and concourse redevelopment program. This is second phase of the funding -- FAA awarded nearly $1b for airport terminal projects announced for 85 airports last year.<br/>
