Government Market News StaffThe Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is making $970 million available to develop and improve airport terminals nationwide.
The agency announced a Notice of Funding Opportunity that will be awarded to an unknown number of projects. The deadline to apply is July 31, 2024.
Eligible projects will include terminal gates, roads and walkways that lead directly to or from an airport terminal building, multimodal terminal development and for on-airport rail access. Projects that relocate, rebuild, report or improve airport-owned control towers are also eligible.
This is the fourth round of grants that will be awarded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s (BIL) Airport Terminal Program. The third round, announced in February, awarded $970 million to support 114 airports in 44 states and three U.S. territories.
Projects receiving grants in February include:
- $35 million to Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia to build a 14-gate, 400,000-square-foot terminal building, including connections to the Aerotrain and Metrorail.
- $40 million to Chicago O’Hare International Airport in Illinois for improvements to Terminal 3 to include increasing the central passenger corridor width, a reconfigured TSA checkpoint, new hold room, a new ADA compliant and family restroom and updates to the baggage system.
- $31 million to San Francisco International Airport to replace critical mechanical and electrical components (VFDs, fans, dampers, actuators, control valves, sensors, and other associated elements) of the HVAC system at the International Terminal. Replacing these components will improve fire-life safety compliance, reduce energy usage, reduce maintenance costs and improve resilience.
